> If no one has a good solution, what would you say is the best? In general, to be a good solution, you'd need the following: 1.A robust, frictionless deployment mechanism. That is: the user visits a web page; the app runs instantly. No installing anything. No problems with the app not running or otherwise appearing to be broken. 2. Killer development tools that make it super-fast to develop high- quality apps, and super-easy to maintain it 3. A programming language that isn't a pain in the ass 4. Not even an attempt at trying to lock people in to expensively licensed server-side technologies No-one offers all of the above, for all categories of browser app. The answer to the "which is best" question depends on: what kind of app you're building; who the users are; and what your budget is. If point #1, above, is the most important to you, then you're going to lean towards JavaScript or perhaps Flash. If points #2 and #3 are the most important to you, then you might choose Silverlight or Java. If point #4 is important, you might choose JavaScript or Java. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
