[Laszlo-user] Laszlo Adoption

[Khurram Samad]

Hi Rich

I agree to your comments about Ajax - however the analysis has some
revealing insights about Adobe Flex, Silverlight and Open Laszlo. Though all
RIA technologies are exponentially growing, however Adobe Flex has steeper
growth curve - Silver light is receiving good response from market as well
and I heard it somehow allows search engines to index and read the content
developed in Silverlight.

Thanks Khurram,

I modified your search terms a bit to get a better feel - adding "laszlo" as
well yields a more pleasant picture for OpenLaszlo.  I don't think the
"openlaszlo" and "laszlo" graphs can be added to each other since one job
posting could use both "OpenLaszlo" and "Laszlo" as terms.

Check it out:
http://www.indeed.com/jobtrends?q=%22adobe+flex%22%2C+silverlight%2C+javafx%
2C+openlaszlo%2C+laszlo

Also, on a relative scale:
http://www.indeed.com/jobtrends?q=%22adobe+flex%22%2C+silverlight%2C+javafx%
2C+openlaszlo%2C+laszlo
<http://www.indeed.com/jobtrends?q=%22adobe+flex%22%2C+silverlight%2C+javafx
%2C+openlaszlo%2C+laszlo&relative=1> &relative=1

And finally, note what happens when "ajax" is included:
http://www.indeed.com/jobtrends?q=%22adobe+flex%22%2C+silverlight%2C+javafx%
2C+openlaszlo%2C+laszlo%2C+ajax
<http://www.indeed.com/jobtrends?q=%22adobe+flex%22%2C+silverlight%2C+javafx
%2C+openlaszlo%2C+laszlo%2C+ajax&l=> &l=

True, ajax is used for more than just RIA, and has become somewhat of a
meaningless buzzword anyway, but still...Wow!

Hi Rich

I tried to calculate Adaption rate by using "Job Advertisement" as proxy. I
looked at Indeed.com for data

http://www.indeed.com/jobtrends?q=%22adobe+flex%22%2C+silverlight%2C+javafx%
2C+openlaszlo
<http://www.indeed.com/jobtrends?q=%22adobe+flex%22%2C+silverlight%2C+javafx
%2C+openlaszlo&l> &l=

 

I could not locate, but I pricked this idea from some blog and think it
helps in predicting the Open Laszlo Adoption in depth.

Hey all,

Not sure if this is the right forum for this question - if not, let me know
and I'll repost somewhere else.

As an RIA consultant, I do most of my work in OpenLaszlo.  However, I'm not
ignorant to the fact that there are other alternatives out there.  I love
recommending Laszlo for projects, but I worry that it isn't taking off as
fast as it could.  Out of curiosity, can someone provide some insight on the
adoption rate of OpenLaszlo?  Specifically, I'd like to know some historical
figures as well as the current adoption level, especially with regard to
competing technologies (plain AJAX, Flex, etc)

I think Laszlo is amazing, but I wonder why it's not being used more
frequently in the RIA space.  Any ideas on why this might be the case?

Thanks so much for your thoughts! :)
-Rich
