Bloggers comment on OpenLaszlo

Sept 18, 2005 Don Hopkins on OpenLaszlo

"I'm quite happy to have found OpenLaszlo, since it's got all the advantages of NeWS, it runs beautifully and consistently on all platforms, the people developing it really understand what they're doing, and most importantly it's open source. NeWS was a technological success, but a commercial failure, because Sun refused to release it like X11. But OpenLaszlo applications really do run everywhere consistently, support XML standards and rich dynamic graphics vastly superior to anything you can do in DTHML, and they're great fun to develop."

Sept 15, 2005 Geert Bevin on what's next for RIAs

"Personally, I'm standing behind the open-source OpenLaszlo platform. The main reason is that consumers are adopting computers and the internet for most of their multi-media needs. Nobody finds it weird anymore that you listen to music or watch a movie on your computer. Portable music players like the iPod go hand-in-hand with desktop applications to manage them, applications for home-recorded movie editing are included in most operating systems and Apple's Garageband brings awesome audio creation power to everyone. OpenLaszlo allows you to write RIA that incorporate sound, music, images, video and text easily, just look at what Pandora has done."

Sept 15, 2005 Matt Jadud on OpenLaszlo to the Rescue

"OpenLaszlo provided an excellent framework for quickly going from idea to solution."

Aug 29, 2005 Pandora CTO Tom Conrad on OpenLaszlo

"Eight months ago when we sat down to figure out how were were going to deliver a compelling zero-install discovery and listening experience across Windows, Mac, and Linux in record time we considered everything you can imagine: plain old HTML, AJAX, Flex, OpenLaszlo to name just a few. In the end, Laszlo was the clear winner on all fronts."
