Ext JS 2.0 Preview
Ext JS is a JavaScript library, but unlike many others, it has some very interesting features, with even more coming in the 2.0 release. They released a preview on their blog today showing off some of the new kit that will be available in the next release.
“A common theme for the Ext framework is building rich web applications that can barely be distinguished from true desktop applications. Everything from the look and feel of a control to smooth transitions in DnD are considered when building out the controls. The Web desktop is a culmination of this effort and demonstrates how the use of standards based technologies such as JavaScript, CSS & DOM can be leveraged to build a desktop like experience within the context of a browser.”
This could probably be considered the holy grail of the internet developer at the moment. Creating a web-site that not only looks, but more importantly acts like a client side application. You can see a little demo of the “Web Desktop” as they call it at the following link, along with other demo’s as well.
