I’m really excited when I read some article on Open Source RIA development in Flash Platform .. Yes, Sourceforge’s project of the month June is “Silex”, coming to rock the RIA apps in the world.
“Silex is an open source RIA that enables you to build Flash websites for Flash Player 7, 8, 9, and 10. Silex is a new kind of CMS, a mix between an editing software like the Adobe Creative Suite, and Wiki based software. All multimedia file formats — images of all kinds, texts, videos with chapters and subtitles, audio and playlists, 3D animations, .pdf files, etc. can be assembled in Silex WYSIWYG editor to publish online, on a local computer, or on a CD-R. Silex can be used to display all types of data — either static or dynamic — from text files, databases, a CMS, blog, Web TVs, etc. HTML and Flash are both supported by Silex. Search engine support is provided by generating an HTML equivalent on the fly of the contents of Silex web sites as if they were HTML web sites”.
This is really an interesting news for all the RIA developers.
