Javascript GUI builder

I was cleaning up some of my unread tabs in NetNewsWire and I finally got around to watching Jon Udell's screencast demonstrating a GUI toolkit and GUI builder for Javascript based browser applications. This is the sort of thing that I thought needed to happen in order for "AJAX" applications to really take off. I just didn't think it would happen this quickly. I was pretty impressed by what I saw in the screencast. I hope that some of the folks working on open source toolkits have seen this.

Also quite interesting in this context seems to be the JavaScript library at http://script.aculo.us which reminds me a bit of the Web Modeling language (www.webml.org) and may be used with RubyOnRails (but there are of course also native XML dbs such as www.exist-db.org; for a recent discussion on RoR see www.theocacao.com). For a DOMParse written in js see a recent post at www.web-graphics.com.

This toolkit offers a lot of the widget functionality I saw in the demo..

Only just found this toolkit, but I'm very impressed with the demo. And it's cross browser already.

All we need now is the gui builder 8)
