A J2EE Moment of Zen – Miguel de Icaza
Microsoft’s Avalon is the J2EE of GUI APIs
Interesting. Even more interesting is the plea for the “Rails of GUI”. Now that’s what I’m talking about. Rails is gaining popularity because it is “opinionated” software which favors convention over configuration. What this means for the programmer, is that the plumbing is just assumed to be there, and it works.
Why not a “Rails of GUI”? How hard could it be?
