How long is Adobe Flash going to be around?

September 23, 2009

I can already hear the Flash community cry out loud, but I’m convinced that Flash – within the next 2 years – will lose the position as the leading RIA technology for visually advanced RIAs.

OpenLaszlo DHTML CSS 3 demo – to Flash or not to Flash, is no question!

August 25, 2009

Since the OpenLaszlo DHTML runtime has been released, I’ve been wondering if there’ll ever be the time for me to say: “I can imagine that Flash won’t be a necessity for visually very appealing RIAs!” That time has come, thanks to the incredible work on great open source projects like the Firefox browser or Webkit.

August 24, 2009

Following my two posts last week on OpenLaszlo, HTML5, CSS3 and open standards based Flash-like RIAs (OpenLaszlo, HTML 5 and CSS3 – driving adoption of open standards in RIAs, and OpenLaszlo and JavaScript/DHTML – migrating RIAs from Flash to Open Standards), I decided to put together a demo of what it would mean to have [...]

OpenLaszlo, HTML 5 and CSS3 – driving adoption of open standards in RIAs

August 21, 2009

Since 2007 the OpenLaszlo team and community members have built a number of small demos showing how features of the upcoming CSS3 improvements like CSS 3D Transforms Module Level 3 and HTML 5 standard could be supported in OpenLaszlo.

OpenLaszlo and JavaScript/DHTML – migrating RIAs from Flash to Open Standards

August 19, 2009

Since the first announcement of the DHTML runtime for OpenLaszlo in March 2006, the OpenLaszlo team has been working hard on improving the DHTML runtime – making it possible to run very large and complex RIAs as both Flash and Ajax/JavaScript applications.

It’s only natural that bugs build up in a project over such a long time, and now the OpenLaszlo core team and committers ask [...]
