Showcase: TIBCO shows their library / toolkit / IDE to Jon Udell
Jon Udell of Infoworld has been publishing some very interesting screencases. His latest consists of TIBCO showing off a rich Ajaxian library / toolkit / IDE.
The IDE (or Visual Authoring Toolkit) eats their dog food, as it is built on their library itself.
As you watch the screencast, I think you will be impressed at how rich it is, and how responsive the browser base tool is. I would bet that many people would assume that this wasn’t JavaScript ;)
There is a LOT of drag and drop support going on here. Very impressive indeed. As Jon puts it:
“You have really done some rocket science here”
Their entire SOAP stack was written in JavaScript :)





This is completely ridiculous. Really amazing. It’s astounding to me what some people can do with Javascript. So, how do we get our hands on it? :)
This is amazing. Their literature also states that they can run offline:

That looks extremely impressive. JavaScript rules.
You see reference to InfoWorld columnist Jon Udell’s blog and recording of the AJAX tool called General Interface. Here’s the link: http://weblog.infoworld.com/udell/2005/05/25.html
In case you are interested, we (TIBCO) are hosting a free-to-attend AJAX/RIA webinar with the leading Gartner analyst covering rich internet applications. We will also be showing a demonstration and have an opportunity to answer attendees direct questions. Here’s the link to register:
