Howdy, I’m back from (my first!) cruise to Mexico. It was a great experience, I met some interesting people and have come back surprisingly relaxed and refreshed.
I’ve also turned off comments for the time being, it seems that some spammers have taken my blog hostage, so until I get some verification plugins installed, I’m going to be leaving comments off. But you’re always welcome to drop me a message. :-)
Today, Laszlo released their Rich Internet Applications platform as open source. David Temkin can better describe the importance of this event. LZX fills a big gap in the web applications space, bringing the User Experience bar for web applications (and hell, desktop applications) up to what I consider the right level. Consumer targetted applications should work like their TV and video game counterparts… Macromedia sort of got that, but Macromedia’s application framework support just isn’t quite there yet. (read: it can be done, but it’s painful…)
Downloads are available from Laszlo. In my book, this is a Big Deal<tm>.
