Rating and comments for OpenLaszlo

Literally amazing. I attempted to learn Flash in a few days for my web-design job, and was overwhelmed by the timeline, motion, and everything else. As soon as I installed OpenLaszlo, I figured out how to use it. Anyone with XML/HTML and JavaScript-style language familiarity can pick this up in a flash (no pun intended). The open source license is especially a plus considering Flash CS3 Professional's $699 price tag. Awesome work.

Sorry, I meant to give that a 5 above... if the staff would like to change that and remove this, I'd be obliged.

You can do brilliant things with OpenLaszlo. The steepest part of the learning curve for me was building the layout without a graphical IDE. This will not be a problem for developers used to working without Dreamweaver, etc. Very sharp product

I have worked with Dojo Toolkit to give the web application we're working on a rich interface, but its time consuming and a big pain.

I think with OpenLaszlo, we will be able to build and maintain RIAs very easily and even single-handedly.

I am trying real hard to get all the missing pieces before I do a project with this.

I just hope they do add some documentation and examples for beginners, specially something on web services so that the whole picture is clear.

PERFECT!
