I'm sure that many here are old enough to remember the legendary battle of IE 4 v Netscape 4.
What's Netscape? just kiddin' ;)
It seems that Havoc has been cried and the dogs of war slipped over the battleground of RIA. Here is what I mean. Adobe Flash & Apollo v MS Silverlight & WPF v FireFox Cairo v Sun JavaFX v AJAX JS Frameworks v APEE (Anomalous Pretty Eye-candy Engine). Seriously, I'd be interested to see what tech people have played with. Additionally, since I'm a lazy jerk and don't feel like learning 4+ languages, I'd be interested to find out what tech is the one likely to be on top, and thus, me spend my time to learn.
Adobe's Flash has the largest spread, Microsoft has a convenient way to release their product (via Windows updates), and Java is popular with developers. So I don't know who will end up on top. I hope Ajax and Adobe because I've already invested time into Ajax stuff and Flash, Flex, and Apollo. -- Jacob Wright Within Code LLC _______________________________________________ UPHPU mailing list [email protected] http://uphpu.org/mailman/listinfo/uphpu IRC: #uphpu on irc.freenode.net
