Laszlo Tries to Tame The Ajax Beast

March 20, 2006; 04:22 AM

March 13, 2006 - Ajax is a bit like a temperamental actor. The technology does incredible things, but it's painful to work with. That has created a need for Ajax tools that lessen the great pain of crafting interactive Ajax applications for different browsers. The interactive, fast-responding Web applications programmers can create with Ajax (for asynchronous JavaScript and XML) are one part of what people are calling Web 2.0, where quality interactions with users count for more than the number of HTML pages downloaded.

One of the most promising of those Ajax-taming tools is OpenLaszlo, a development framework that until now has focused on the Macromedia Flash Player.
