Ajax and WebObjects

Frustrated by Apple not improving the components of WebObjects for years, it is good to now that the folks of Project Wonder get their act together and provide Ajax integration (they wrap around the Rico framework). Another good source of great componentents is the Noxymo framework.

Google Web Toolkit

A new trend - so it seems - is to provide Programming Frameworks for Web Applications for free. Not long after Yahoo and Adobe now industry giant Google is offering the Google Web Toolkit to build AJAX apps in the Java language..
I am currently also checking out Flex from Adobe formerly Macromedia (my God, if Apple should buy Adobe this would become a rather long name: Apple formerly Adobe formerly Macromedia :) )

Building Flex with Xcode!

Flex 2.0 Beta 3 from Adobe Labs has a cool new IDE based on Eclipse, but the beta is not available for Mac OS X - with beta 3 the installer is screwed on Windows, so I was delighted to find this info how to use Xcode with the Flex SDK. It is just the SDK, so You just have the compiler tools available and no IDE, but this is a good place to start!
