About the Plex Foundation
The Plex Foundation exists to organize and fund future development of the Plex programming language and a home for Plexians and future Plex developers alike.
Plex, HTTP and the Asynchronous Web
Plex aims to solve the problem of user information storage. This problem of associating users and their information they have input, has been solved in many different and often inefficient and insecure ways. Our designers have constructed Plex in such a manner which addresses the security vulnerabilities and data inconsistencies when working within conventional paradigms.
The security and use of server resources was a concern along with the advent of mobile computing which has driven the Plex paradigm toward a model where the device itself downloads much of the information it will need from the server. The user is then free to interact with the webpage that has been downloaded and stored locally on the device. This approach allows developers to design multi-page forms and the back end for these which will run locally on the device; once the user is finished entering the information, or there is at a logical break as defined by the developer, the information can then be submitted to the remote webserver where the data is processed and stored.
The client side paradigm has been thoroughly corrupted by the problems inherent in Flash and the lack of support with JavaScript. We designed Plex so that developers and users can feel secure when browsing Plexed sites.
We were inspired by Bert Hubert's rant on WebCoding.
