Abstract
Today Web-related software development seems to be faced with a crisis not unlike the one that occurred a generation ago when in the 70s computer hardware experienced an order of magnitude increase in computational power. While this made possible the implementation of a new class of applications larger both in size and complexity, the methods for software development available at that time were not able to scale up to such large projects. The "software crisis" was a fact with its legendary stories of delays, unreliability, maintenance bottlenecks and costs.
