Adobe Spry

Though Ajax is the driving mechanism behind Web 2.0, it is often cumbersome to create Ajax applications do the combination of technologies and languages. Along came Adobe (again) to rescue the over-stressed and over-tasked web programmers.

Adobe has created a framework for Ajax development, called Spry, to help centralize much of the libraries and technologies used in Ajax development. Spry helps in creating dynamic web apps that can include widgets, effects, and data transformation and management. Thus, making it easier for the web programmer to create a more robust and interesting experience for the end user.

Recently, Adobe released and new version of Spry that will help to incorporate these Ajax applications into Adobe Air, which creates standalone desktop apps for your computer.

I intend to start playing with this new toy. However, you can check out more about it at http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/home.html.
