In the past, OpenLaszlo been regarded as a Flash-only tool. In fact,
OpenLaszlo Laszlo is a powerful language for rich, custom declarative
user interface programming that's been under development for over 5
years. It's a powerful framework, and it has an exciting future as
a single (OpenSource) language that can target Flash, DHTML and soon, other runtimes.
In this talk Max will talk about the process of making OpenLaszlo a
runtime-independent platform, including the first year of AJAX. He will
give an overview of the current multi-runtime architecture, including
techniques for using and extending it. See an overview of the language,
