General Development RoughlyDrafted Magazine has posted an in-depth article that examines Sproutcore, an Apple-backed Javascript framework that approximates Cocoa on the web. The article examines why using HTML, Javascript, and CSS just may win the battle with Flash, Silverlight, and Java for rich internet application deployment. Sproutcore enables web developers to create full-featured cross-browser web apps an in a Model, View, Controller convention, much like Rails. The Sproutcore site has some great tutorials that show off the framework.

This framework looks interesting, but I'm not sure it will appeal to Flash current developers, as they tend to be more of the designer type than the programmer type of people.


That's a myth really, there are both kinds using flash. With flash there are basically two approaches, either design and add function or create function and add design.

Lots of people are actually developing flash apps without ever touching the "design"-tools of flash. I personally find that to be the most convinient approach for more advanced applications.
