Popups will give you a very Windowsy (Bruce actually compared it more to CPD) experience. Not search engine friendly, however.

SPAs - single page applications

You can create SPAs with NetTalk. Bruce talked a bit about future directions. Front loading also works well with SPAs; you dump all of the unchanging HTML into the initial page load so all you need to do is load up the changing data. The static page can be on a CDN (content delivery network). You can even offload the static page delivery to a CDN or different server. And what if that server were a JavaScript server using the browser's local store? Then you could use PhoneGap to create pseudo-native mobile apps. Not there yet, but clearly lots of interesting stuff to come from CapeSoft. 

Template expressions

Most fields in NetTalk are expressions - you can type in anything you like. There are a few exceptions. 

Scalability

You can have your web app quickly (thin client, maybe 20 users per server) or you can do the work and make an app that can scale up to thousands of users per server.
