Sidetracked By FLEX

Posted by castever on December 20, 2007

I’m still going to do research/comparison on JavaScript libraries, but I am sidetracked by the amazing possibilities offered by Adobe(tm) FLEX. The UI is beautiful, the cross-browser/platform advantages speak for themselves, and the simplicity of writing a FLEX application sells me on it.

This just brings me to the same question that seems to haunt me: “With so many amazing technologies, how is a boy to choose?”

Many JavaScript Libraries

Posted by castever on December 18, 2007

So I found I new JavaScript library. Maybe you’ve heard of it. EXT JS. I have been using PrototypeJs and the Script.aculo.us library for a little while, but just now came across this new library. I have only briefly looked at EXT JS, namely their desktop,which , though slow and a little bug prone, looks very good. The things we can do with the web are limitless and the more we stretch ourselves by attempting new things the better.

So I think everyone knows that there is a plethora of tools at the disposale of the web developer. How then do we decide which are the right tools for us? I think I will explore the different tools I have come across, write about them, and let whomever decides to read comment. So stay tuned.
