While I agree that the WebOS solution is overkill for the DynAPI. The Loadpanel approach is not the most solid bridge to deliver dynamic (dynamic being defined as 'dynamic server/client interaction') content. I think we need to explore alternatives/improvements to the glue between the DynAPI and the wealth of server-side power that exists out there. JS is client. It performs best in that world. The server-side unlocks a whole new world of "dynamics" that currently tend to funnel into very "dead" client interfaces. That's what peaked my interest in the DynAPI in the first place. I loath the limited realm that FLASH delivers along with its pathetic CPU chewing rendering engine. I like the fact that the DynAPI leaves options 100% open for me to pick and choose front-to-back delivery platforms. Currently loadpanel is probably the weakest link supporting the DynAPI platform. But it is the "only" link we currently have to bridge between two very different worlds. Fix and optimize it...., then you will see magic... The "art" of client side interface will meet the "fandango dance" of the server-side apps and really enhance the overall forumla for developing and delivering the web experiences of tomorrow. Ray |
