Talk:Shim (computing)

HTML coding
How about adding something to this page about the use of the word "shim" when meaning a small (usually 1px x 1px) image to fill empty table cells in HTML code? Sibruk (talk) 14:44, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Shim vs. abstraction layer
What is the difference between shim and abstraction layer? --Abdull (talk) 12:36, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

vs. Wrapper library
"shim" sounds like a very local term.. I've never heard anyone use it as a professional programmer dealing with web services, SOAP apis and the like for the last several years.

Wine?
If Wine is a shim, than a shim can hardly be a "small library", can it? Also, the Wine] article states it's a compatibility layer. So I propose removing Wine from the list of shims. [[User:Jalwikip|Jalwikip (talk) 08:40, 9 September 2013 (UTC)
