I've recently written two blogs which go into some detail about the options available to developers who want to put a GUI on their MV app. These are more oriented toward people who don't really understand the various mainstream buzzwords or how some of the more popular options compare to one another. The emphasis is on the idea that no matter what you choose, you will have a learning curve, but it helps to understand that your education won't be completely wasted should you learn about one option and then move to another. There are consistent paradigms in use, and sometimes just understanding that is helpful in making comparisons and choices.
If you are familiar with the options, including those that make use of JavaScript and Ajax, or the various plugin tools like Flex and Silverlight, then your feedback is most welcome, but please remember the intended audience when going into detail. The best place to start is probably the main page: remove.this.spam.filterNebula-RnD.com/blog/ Look down the page for articles: "Still on a fence about GUI?" then "Web GUI tools - Not as different as they seem" There is also a more detailed article titled "Adobe Flex for MV GUI" if you wish to know more about that option. As stated in my recent entry "About this blog, taking a brief step back", I'm happy to accept comments and criticisms, so please let me know what else you'd like to see written up. Yes, I sell tools for which I have a bias, but for those of you concerned about ads I hope you will find my blogs are almost entirely non biased when I'm explaining options. I leave it to the reader to come to their own conclusions, and if their conclusions agree with mine then I will be ready to offer products and services to help with implementation. If not then I'm at least glad to have helped someone with their decision process. Finally, my blog home page has sidebar links to other MV-related blogs (and a couple that are not). I welcome you to visit these repositories of (arguable?) insight and to let me know if there are other MV blogs that should be added to the list. Blogs are homes to indepth notes that usually don't belong in forum discussions, and you often won't find the information or (arguably?) helpful perspectives anywhere else. As an example, my recent blog notes on web development relate closely to Brian Leaches recent blog on mvScript - you simply won't find this information anywhere else.
