Abstract

HOP is a new execution platform for running interactive and multimedia applications on the Web. It is aimed at executing applications such as Web agendas, Web galleries, Web music players, etc. HOP consists of: i) a new programming language specially designed for addressing the distributed aspects of Web programming, ii) a rich set of libraries for dealing with music files, sounds, pictures, photographs, etc., iii) a full-fledged Web server for executing the server-side components of the applications. In this paper we illustrate HOP's skills for programming multimedia applications in two examples. We show that, with 50 lines of code, an operational photograph gallery can be implemented and we show that with approximatively 30 lines of code an operational podcast receiver can be built.
