Oliver Steele (I like the skin of his weblog!) has a very nice article about webapplications, dealing about how you should switch from server-side webapplications to client-side webapplications, thereby enabling a more rich experience on the client-side and reducing the load on the server-side (amongst other things).<\/p>\n
One of the frameworks to create such a rich client-side applications he mentions, is Laszlo<\/a>. This is an impressive piece of work. Try some of their demos. I had to reposition my jaw manually, since this gui-experience is mostly only achieved in native applications or in applications that require a huge install of libraries or components on the client-side. Laszlo<\/a> does not. It requires that you have (Macromedia) Flashplayer 5 or higher and have Javascript enabled in your browser. Technically it caches about 200K on your PC, but that’s it. Why do I tell you about yet another web-application framework? Well, on the one hand, you don’t need anything new on your clients. On the other hand, this is a Free and Open Sourced product.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Oliver Steele (I like the skin of his weblog!) has a very nice article about webapplications, dealing about how you should switch from server-side webapplications to client-side webapplications, thereby enabling a more rich experience on the client-side and reducing the load on the server-side (amongst other things).
