We are supporting a Microsoft™ Remote Scripting (MSRS) application at work. It's been an absolute nightmare. I am nearly two years into this application and the shear amount of patches that must go in prevent us from being able to replace the MSRS code. What's more, the MSRS code is nearly impossible to efficiently debug especially when the original developer was a hack. It's like trying to piece together a grenade after it goes off.
There are quite a few options out there since my first foray into remote scripting. When I say remote scripting I mean real remote scripting using JavaScript Remote Scripting. I first learned about his from Brent Ashley's site at Ashley IT around four years ago. It was powerful then and still is. Microsoft™'s recent release of Atlas has harnessed the potential that JSRS began.
There a some great examples of remote scripting that are worthwhile to review. These include: Google Mail, Hotmail Beta, and Microsoft's Live Office.
