Abstract: Software development has a rich history that stems from forty plus years of tried and true practices. From structured programming models to object-oriented methods, the student is often left to her own devices to implement code based on a highly creative – and subjective – design process. In this paper, we will explore some of the foundations of our software development methodologies and apply these to web programming for SAS applications. We will present coding techniques, lessons learned from our experien ces as architects and experiences proven to be too painful to be ignored. Examples will include reference to HTML, JavaScript, SAS/IntrNet, JavaServer Pages, XML and ODS.
