[aplusdev] Article on A+ and Linux

[Steven.H.Rogers at seagate.com]

I can see having a WxPython (or similar) front end working with an A+ (or
similar) back end to form an OLAP application.  This fits with the MVC
(Model-View-Controller) design approach.  Here the Model is the data model,
view is the user interface, and controller is the application logic.

A+ seems to have everything needed for a complete OLAP application as long
as you're on a UNIX like system.  It's strength, though, is in array
calculations.  WxPython is arguably better for building GUIs that look good
on multiple platforms and work in a manner familiar to users who may only
be familiar with the way one platform works and don't want to learn
something different.
