RIAs at the Enterprise Level
The penetration of RIAs into the consumer world is beyond doubt. We have numbers supporting that time and again. To that extent, RIAs are here to stay. However, I sometimes wonder the scenario when it comes to enterprise apps.
Let us exclude AJAX for the sake of discussion because most GUIs these days are being built [...]
Did the Google I/O 2009 Spoil the Microsoft Bing Day?
Google I/O is a developer gathering focused on pushing the boundaries of web applications using Google and open web technologies. This year’s two-day conference appears to have completely overshadowed the Microsoft Bing Day. There must have been two binge parties in both the camps last night for entirely different reasons.
In case you did not [...]
Rounding Up IE8 Release Week
Has anyone even tried downloading the final release of Internet Explorer 8? If yes, for how long and what do you think? I tried using IE8 RC1 when it was released. The latest is a very superior version with many new features, but I somehow can’t remember to use IE nor can I force myself [...]

Dan Orlando must be relieved. Almost a month ago, he accidentally let out some [...]
Java + MXML + AJAX = ZK, Sun Should have Done This
If you haven’t done this, it’s time now go check out ZK, a open source AJAX RIA development environment/tool/framework, which is Java driven and claims to be Direct RIA solution. Flex developers, be aware.
The smart people behind ZK seem to me have done everything right. Here are the reasons I come to think of:

A New Hope For Google Visualization API
When the Google AJAX Search team first introduced the Google Visualization API early this year in a hope to reshape the future of online data visualization, it was met with a lukewarm response. Not because it wasn’t good, but because data could only be used from Google Spreadsheets. Not any more.
Google announced a couple of [...]
