The dramatic emergence of Ajax over the past year was a first step in the transition
from page-oriented HTML web applications towards more full-featured
rich internet applications. OpenLaszlo provides another important step in this
continuing evolutionary process. It provides developers with the tools to create
web-based applications offering the usability and interactivity associated with
desktop applications, and the low costs associated with web-based deployment.
Written to address the needs of a wide spectrum of developers, ranging from
client-side HTML and JavaScript developers all the way to enterprise-class Java
or Rails engineers,
Laszlo in Action provides a very hands-on approach towards
building applications that solve real-world problems across both the Flash and
DHTML platforms. The construction of the Laszlo Market proceeds over the
course of the book illustrating topics starting with an initial wireframe and storyboard
design to optimization issues dealing with the application's deployment
across the Flash and DHTML platforms.
