Abstract :
In order to create applications that programmatically use the Web as an expressive medium, the current choice is largely between those conventional programming languages that are difficult to master and those that are less expressive. CrawLogo is a Logo-inspired programming environment in which Web-space is represented as part of a Crawler Geometry - and in which the coordinates in this geometry are programmable "Crawltures." In initial trials of the system, end-users were able to quickly create their own Web-enabled applications; however, further research is needed to improve different aspects of the geometry and the interface of the CrawLogo development environment
