Why MIC?

Much of any Web interface is going to be a lot of HTML. If one is using traditional CGI programing, this means an endless repetition of print statements, here docs, or function calls punctuated by code. With MIC, the HTML portions of your page become simple, you write them just as you would any other. It is also trivial to take a concept or template page and make it into a fully functional interface. You need only embed the logic; the HTML will work just as it is. In fact, the completed MIC site source is logically laid out, as the user would think of it, in pages.

Though MIC is certainly useful on any size site or project, it is most useful in producing large interfaces which span many logical pages. MIC allows the programmers to treat the interface on a page per page basis; thus, site design and CGI programming are brought closer together. Besides this, however, MIC natively provides many useful features that enhance productivity and security.
