I have been playing working with ExtJS at work, and I think we are going to go with it. Ext.js is a GUI builder for javascript that has GUI components like tables, tabs, data containers, etc. It is built with YUI (Yahoo User Interface), Prototype, Scripaculous and JQuery, to name a few.

I’m not sure what alternatives are out there (Dojo? GWT (Google Web Tools)?) but I want to spend a bit of time looking at these too, just to make sure that I’m going with the right thing.

I have updated the open-source actionscript SVG library. It now has an Adobe AIR application example application that allows you to try it out.

What’s the library for? It lets you define vector graphics in a common format and render them in flash. Actually, you can already do this at compile time. But if you want to change the graphics programatically, for example changing the colors and styles used for fills and pens, you are out of luck with the Adobe’s current SVG offering. This program lets you do that at runtime
