The author should be arrested for writing an 'il-legals' review. Don't worry, my day job is safe....for now.
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bob - Laszlo Sent: Friday, August 18, 2006 12:11 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Laszlo-user] OpenLaszlo in PHP Architect This month's issue of PHP Architect has a feature article on integrating PHP and OpenLaszlo, by Titus Barik. http://www.phparch.com/ Conclusion OpenLaszlo offers you the ability to generate rich presentation logic, without having to abandon the flexibility of the underlying PHP scripting. OpenLaszlo also provides a variety of components that are not available in traditional DHTML applications, and its native XML and XPath abilities simplify databinding to these components seamlessly. That said, OpenLaszlo is not a perfect solution when it comes to embedded Web applications. The fact that it is based on Flash files can hinder accessibility and search engine ranking if used in excess, and while most platforms support Flash, a minority of browsers and users do not have this capability. Additionally, Macromedia offers its own rich commercial application environment: Flex. It remains to be seen whether Flex will hinder or help the adoption of OpenLaszlo. Plus, of course, AJAX continues to be a strong competitor to these technologies. Despite these concerns, companies have already, and will continue to, implement applications using OpenLaszlo. If you find that your current AJAX application has grown in complexity, or if you've have hit a ceiling on its presentation capabilities, then you may want to give OpenLaszlo a try. _______________________________________________ Laszlo-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.openlaszlo.org/mailman/listinfo/laszlo-user _______________________________________________ Laszlo-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.openlaszlo.org/mailman/listinfo/laszlo-user
