The book is now officially released (well, I <strong>hope</strong> I&#8217;m not jumping the gun by saying that) and I should be getting my print copy of it the next day or so. I&#8217;m looking forward to seeing the finished product.</p> Tue, 08 Apr 2008 18:14:00 -0000 forums.pragprog.com:53:144:2561 Lyle Johnson http://forums.pragprog.com/forums/53/topics/144 <p>I agree with Lyle, There are some cases when you have to use the web aproach but there are other cases (very specific for some of my clients) when you have to use development of the client gui aproach. The book is looking great by the way!!</p> Tue, 08 Apr 2008 15:14:28 -0000 forums.pragprog.com:53:144:2559 Alan Maciel Salcedo http://forums.pragprog.com/forums/53/topics/144 <p>There&#8217;s no question that current technology allows for some pretty sophisticated web-based user interfaces, but I think that traditional <span class="caps">GUI</span> applications will be around for awhile. There are still a number of environments where, due to security concerns, web access is either restricted or non-existent. Also, there are some kinds of applications (such as some 3-D modeling and visualization tools) that couldn&#8217;t be easily implemented as web applications&#8212;not yet, anyways. ;)</p> Thu, 29 Nov 2007 02:55:53 -0000 forums.pragprog.com:53:144:1973 Lyle Johnson http://forums.pragprog.com/forums/53/topics/144 <p>...i don&#8217;t know if nowadays it is still worth to develop client gui apps in a world where all is web based. (see rails for example). What do ya think?</p> Sat, 17 Nov 2007 16:36:52 -0000 forums.pragprog.com:53:144:1944 Skyblaze http://forums.pragprog.com/forums/53/topics/144
