TIBET Enterprise-Class AJAX

Posted on the October 18th, 2005 under Uncategorized by Tohir

Here’s an interesting project worth watching out for. The Tibet Enterprise-Class AJAX intends offering:

• W3C standards-based authoring to avoid vendor lock-in and increase interoperability,
• multiple widget and server API integration to support heterogenous environments,
• standalone operation plus synchronization to support an increasingly mobile workforce,
• end-to-end data security capability using an acknowledged security standard,
• localization of content to support a diverse world-wide user community,
• standards-based support for integrating real-time data, IM, and workflow events,
• a robust unit testing framework to ensure quality throughout the application lifecycle.

According to the project, Brendan Eich, JavaScript’s creator and head of the Mozilla project had this reaction:

“I am your humble servant, and in awe of what you’ve done with JS.”

Now this is the type forward-thinking that will take the web forward. Push the web to the limits and see how much additional value we could extract from this.

At the moment I’m doing some research on semantic web and opportunities for immediate implementation. Will report on this…
