Intended Developer Audience
From OpenLaszlo
The OpenLaszlo platform is intended for the developer who is famillar with XML, Javascript, client programming, and has strong OO skills. A gifted programmer may be able to learn OpenLaszlo at the same time that she is learning one or more of these prerequisites.
An OpenLaszlo source file (an LZX file) is an XML file with embedded Javascript. This is similar to HTML, which also allows the use of Javascript inside <code> tags and onclick and other attributes. For example, here is Hello World in LZX:
<canvas> <text>Hello world!</text> </canvas>
And here is a source file that includes embedded Javascript:
<canvas>
<button onclick="animate('height', 20, 1000, true)">Grow</button>
</canvas>
