Abstract:
A method and system for compiling a visual representation of a web site into machine executable instructions, wherein the visual representation depicts both a visual presentation and logical processing of the web site. One or more logic objects is defined with each logic object having non-visual components that perform information processing tasks. One or more visual objects for visually presenting content and information on the website are then defined. Relationships between the logic and visual objects and then visually defined to create the visual representation of the web site. An execution order is then generated for the one or more logic objects based on the defined relationship between the logic and visual objects. All of the visual objects are translated into fragments of markup language. Machine-executable instructions for execution by a runtime engine are then generated comprising the order in which to execute all logic objects and the fragments of markup language to render.
