Abstract

Appcipia is a platform for building rich Web 2.0 applications for engineering, science, and other technical domains. The Appcipia user interface runs inside a browser and interfaces with the Mathematica kernel and other back-end servers. The Appcipia development environment is influenced by ideas from literate programming first introduced by Knuth. This presentation will demonstrate preliminary development ideas including a browser hosted Mathematica development environment with features like integrated version control, multilevel undo, and literate programming tools.
