Rich Internet Applications: OpenLaszlo
It looks like IBM is getting involved with OpenLaszlo to compete with Macromedia in the Rich Internet Application environment. If you have been reading this blog for a while you would know that I am a big proponent for this enhanced method of delivering applications to users rather than the traditional HTML sites that do not provide much client interaction expected in standard desktop applications. Unlike Macromedia's offering of Flex OpenLaszlo seems to be an open source and freely available platform; however, you will require a J2EE platform to run the server's Java Servlet.
If you are interested in the new way of delivering applications to users then have a closer look at OpenLaszlo.
