However, if I'm not mistaken, you have to purchase webmathematica to
*create* these things, correct? This has been around for a while,
incidentally - maybe just the version 3 is new?
I do like this: "Similarly, webMathematica developers need only a
basic knowledge of HTML and Mathematica to create complete, full-
featured websites. Other technical programs require Java programming
skills and only allow creation of small applets. Also, because
webMathematica can access the full range of Mathematica's built-in
computational abilities, developers don't need to work with extra code
libraries." That is very much what I like about Sage; I can create
very nice things for my students without knowing more programming than
mathematics. Honestly, if an institution had a site license for Mma
which allowed webMma, this would be a good way to use it.
On the other hand: "In some sense, Mathematica is a development
environment for webMathematica sites. As an example, you can work on
code in Mathematica that models some physical process—code that can
then be placed into a webMathematica site to enable others to run the
model and use its results for their regular work." But Sage is both
the development environment and the site.
