Yahoo! has just released ASTRA , a suite of components for Adobe Flash and Flex . I have to say that, at least with regard to the components for Flash, I had a half disappointment (if not total). The most interesting, perhaps, is the TabBar ... the rest leaves much to be desired. They look for some components developed their project - internal - and now released as open product! Perhaps, at Yahoo!, we are already aligned with the Microsoft policies ... since today the software company founded by Bill offered 44.6 billion dollars to buy Yahoo!! 44.6 billion, I have not misspelled!

But take a trip on the site where you can find several useful resources. We hope in the near future.

Among the various libraries - or set of libraries (real framework), dedicated to Ajax, HTML, and Web 2.0 interface extension that I've seen, Ext is definitely worthy of note. The website and documentation are well done and organized, also the demo is not to be missed. The graphical user interface, compatibility with Prototype and Scriptaculous and impletazione of Yahoo Utils, make it an interesting system, at least! Beware though the license! Despite presenting himself as open source and free for personal use, requires a fee to enhance the use and care. The latter, in fact, is never to be underestimated in the framework of a certain complexity.

In particular I mention this system, I'm still analyzing in detail, as it has been used to create Fresh Feed Reader , one of the sample applications provided with the release of Adobe Apollo Alpha (see Adobe Apollo Alpha Release ). Fresh, therefore, is an example of two of Apollo, which demonstrates its ability to use HTML and Javascript at the most. Fresh, in fact, is not a pure Apollo, but uses the framework Ext - and then JavaScript and HTML - Apollo in the engine! Great!

A Sunnyvale, California, brings together Yahoo to Silicon Valley WebBuilder Mike Shaver of Mozilla, Chris Wilson, Microsoft's IE team, and Lie of Opera Hoon, to discuss on the current were the eternal war between browsers.

Be emphasized are the words of Mike Shaver of Mozilla:

Do not look to the W3C for the Future

And criticism of Apple's non-attendance:

They refused to send someone Saying That "we are busy writing software."

That, among other things, is 10 miles from where the meeting was held!
