Laszlo gets deeper into AJAX

Ajax sets off tools race

January 26, 2006

Laszlo Systems is expected to announce this week that it will modify its Web development toolset to let applications run alone in browsers without the Flash presentation system. The company plans to show a preview of the tool at the O'Reilly Emerging Tech conference this week.

The company's OpenLaszlo development tool is designed for writing Web applications with a rich, interactive user interface, often referred to as AJAX-style applications. The present version of the tool relies on Adobe's Flash to run OpenLaszlo applications. But by the end of this year, the company will have a "Dynamic HTML" option for OpenLaszlo, according to company executives. That means applications would run in a modern Web browser--including on mobile devices--without the Flash plug-in, according to the company.

it truly does and better!
Yes..i believe ZK who has just put their 1.0 release does a better job then laszlo as you dont need to mess around with xml!..
All is java written.
say u want to populate a grid..you can by writing a class that extends grid and writing an onCreate() and inside your onCreate populate the grid.
In other words you have better control and a much smaller learning curve. laszlo apps tend to look bit messy as there is no activeScript mechanism (like in flex) or no java (codes) like in ZK.
