Web clients fatten up with OpenLaszlo

This article explains what OpenLaszlo is and shows you how to build some simple applications. It also gives you some idea of the power of the platform.

Faces for Laszlo

"This technology combines the rich controls of OpenLaszlo with the client-side 'model-view-controller' architecture of FacesClient components by enabling OpenLaszlo applications to participate in client-side data sharing. Development of Web applications using Faces for Laszlo is made possible through a JSF/JSP (JavaTM Server Faces/Java Server Pages) custom tag library and results in a rich user experience on the browser that looks and feels like a native application."

Spice up your PHP applications with OpenLaszlo

"This 'Spice up PHP applications with OpenLaszlo' tutorial series shows you how to use OpenLaszlo to create a more interactive interface for your PHP applications and how to use PHP to create more dynamic OpenLaszlo applications. It requires a basic understanding of -- or willingness to learn -- XML, JavaScript, and PHP. Each is well worth knowing for its own merits, plus they plug and play together nicely, since they're all based on synergistic open standards." Note: this is a three-part series written by your faithful lensmaster and Don Hopkins. Only part one has been posted, but the others are coming...

Use Apache Derby in your OpenLaszlo applications

"Since OpenLaszlo's open source announcement, many developers have been using OpenLaszlo to create user-friendly, rich Internet applications. Many of these applications require a database solution to have dynamic data fed to them. Because OpenLaszlo runs on Apache Tomcat by default, which in turn supports JavaServer Pages (JSP) and servlets (Java technology), Apache Derby is an excellent database to use. It can be embedded in such applications, and Derby is written in pure Java code. This tutorial series uses an example of an online grocery store to illustrate the power of using OpenLaszlo with Apache Derby."

Deploy OpenLaszlo apps on Apache Geronimo with Tomcat

"With the rise of the popular rich user interface (UI) language, OpenLaszlo, and the parallel rise of Apache Geronimo, OpenLaszlo developers will want to deploy their applications on Geronimo. This tutorial documents the process necessary to configure the internals of Apache Tomcat within Geronimo to be able to run the OpenLaszlo application server, and hence deploy and run OpenLaszlo applications within Geronimo. You'll implement a sample OpenLaszlo application to prove the functionality of the OpenLaszlo application server running on Apache Geronimo."
