[dba-Tech] MS Web apps real time coauthoring

Yes, it goes far beyond basic. I think that's why they produced the video.

Well for one Google docs comes to mind but I have also posted links to other
open source products but the name(s) are not easily remembered. Here is a
link to a simple HTML5 multi-user drawing webpage application:

http://www.unionplatform.com/?page_id=2762

With the use of a very simple web page design, a text interface can be
created that will allow many users the ability to be able to change a text
windows content, simultaneously so the basic technology is hardly ground
breaking.

All that is needed is a webserver in the middle. The link above uses a
OrbiterMicro library that makes it iPhone or Smartphone capable, though that
is just an embellishment and a Cloud based server called the Union server
but anyone with any webserver, on their network, can create such a website
...even using such standards as IIS, Apache or Nginx.
  
That said, I am sure Microsoft has created a much more sophisticated web
environment with fancy fonts, high-lighted colour to signify external
contributions and added extensive formatting capabilities.

You apparently weren't as patient as I was (surprising) as they discussed
Excel. I think some of this goes well beyond what I've seen in  other apps.
Nary a word uttered about Access though.
