- <h1><a id="segnalibro"></a>Preface</h1>
- <p>
- The last few years have seen a dramatic upsurge in research in end user programming.
- Much of this renewed interest is due to the popularity of the Web.
- The Web browser is rapidly replacing the personal computerโs desktop as the platform for many computer activities, and users can now find information, make purchases, and communicate with each other through a Web browser.
- </p>
- <p>
- As <strong> Chapter 1 </strong> explains, the Web browser has turned out to be an ideal platform for end user programming. Researchers and students at a variety of institutions have been exploring how Web browsers can be changed or augmented to better support everyday usersโ tasks. Some of these systems
- have even been released for public use. Unfortunately, there was no common community linking
- researchers in this area together. As a result, there was relatively little collaboration between different groups and papers describing work in this area were published in a variety of different academic venues. Not only was this hurting the productivity of the field, but it was preventing the potential beneficiaries, such as Web users and developers, from accessing these technologies. As researchers working this area ourselves, the four of us felt that it was time to foster a community for researchers in end user programming on the Web.

- <h2>"End-User Programming on the Webโ workshop at ACM SIGCHI</h2>
- <p>We began by <b>organizing</b> a workshop at the SIGCHI conference (ACM Conference on Human
- Factors in Computing Systems) in April 2009. The goals of this workshop were three-fold: (1) to bring
- together researchers from a variety of institutions and establish a sense of community, (2) to discuss
- common problems and share lessons from our work, and (3) to plan the publication of an edited book
- on this topic. The goal of the book was to make it easy for researchers to read about the latest
- approaches and innovations in the field and to make this interesting topic more readily available
- to a larger audience.</p>
