"...The single, most impressive—even cool—feature of script is the ability to have a language embedded into your application. This means, with a little forethought, you can make your application extremely flexible and even meet the requirements that your users told you about the day after you shipped the product. If you design your application with an object model that covers most of the functionality, your application can be scripted to change behavior to meet what the user really wanted it to do—and even to add completely new features. This concept is not new, but the ability to integrate scripting into your application quickly and easily is.
The ease of integration is a key asset to scripting. You're developing your application, and you're bang on schedule when something somewhere causes the ship date to slip. This leaves you in a quandary: Do you just sit tight on your existing feature set, or do you investigate adding a small work item that would help your customers out and keep you busy over the next month? Your boss tells you that the competitor is just about to ship with a great product that has everything you have and for only $99; that often solves the quandary for you. You're commanded to look at what they've done and come up with something fabulous that costs nothing, can be implemented in two days, and will knock the competition for six. Script in this case is your friend, since you can add scripting to your application very easily, pretty cheaply, and in such a cool way that your competitors will be begging for mercy! Okay, so I exaggerate a little—but you get the picture..." |
