All, Can you count the number of commercially available Ajax visual RAD/IDE tools? There is a reason why you can count them on one hand. It's because it's a difficult problem that has taken three years after Gmail to crack this nut, and most of those solutions, well, suck.
In the case of Morfik, the one that filed patents on the technology, it's taken almost a decade. It sounds great and easy, but it isn't. The Web isn't like the desktop. The web is stateless. There is no way around that. You can try to patch the web into something that has some idea of what state is, but it is by design comprised of non-sequitor transactions. Browsers are not deployable executables with compiled code. RR will eventually get there, but my own bet is that it will be because someone in the community writes a hack, because RR is hackable, and innovation comes from people who smell opportunity, not from companies that see a pile of bug fixes that is ever-growing and never-decreasing, and can see how difficult it will be to take an existing product and make it do something completely different. Maybe RR is not the typical development company in that regard. I'm betting I'm right, though. We already have RevOnRockets. Someone is going to take that and try to make it spit JS, DHTML, PHP, etc. It's just going to take a while. _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
