Mikael has got an interesting perspective wrt Continuations on the Web.
He talks about his path, taking a simple command line app which takes response from a user, and seeing how it maps to the world of the web.
I have been interesting in this marriage for awhile. I do like thinking of the users session in this way.
There are some good frameworks out there that support this style, such as:
And many others dabble…

We have a presentation about how web continuations make web application development easier at java.net’s RIFE website: https://rife.dev.java.net/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=757
It might help out people to understand it better too.

Thanks for adding RIFE to the list :-)

… and now for constructive commentary. There’s one think I dislike about the continuations-style. You typically always have to use one main ‘while’ loop that is executed until all steps are done if you’re creating a wizard and need to support back/forth navigation. I think that for these kind of functionalities, a higher level abstraction is more convenient (ie. a wizard feature that allows the individual implementation of each step and handles their navigation for you).

in rubyland, the CoolContinuationFramework hat has been passed on from borges to Wee (see http://ntecs.de/blog?cat=Web).
Wee has nice database integration with th Og orm, it can work without callcc, has a framework to automatically build web interfaces to data, and it comes with videos :D

The link (http://www.phubuh.org/Media/Writing/Continuations/) seems to be broken. Wouldn’t you have a copy of the document you could point me to?
