Early AJAX Office Applications

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the proof-of-concept dept.

prostoalex writes "Perhaps many, who viewed Zimbra presentation from yesterday, thought about other office-related applications they would like to see moved to the Web. Richard McManus on ZDNet provides a list of the currently available AJAX apps. Did you know there was AJAX word processor, AJAX spreadsheet, AJAX calendar, AJAX presentation-building software, AJAX e-mail client, AJAX note-taking software and some other interesting applications, which, deployed on your local server, do not need installation and "just work" in a browser window?"

    "Please tell me how this can be done in less than 10 lines of code in php."

    PHP Lens, there are others.

    I do find your santimony amusing though. You go on bragging about how ASP.NET is better then PHP as if that says something. Is it better then webobjects? Is it better then tapestry? is it better then ruby on rails? Is slapping gui controls in visual studio easier then using Java studio creator?

    ASP.NET is just another freakin web application toolkit. To me it's in the middle to the bottom of the pack. There is nothing special about it, there are many products that are easier to use, create more cross browser applications, cost less, and make more scalable and easier to maintain code.

    I just don't get you guys obsession with such a mediocre tool and programming paradigm.
