Last year, I tried IBM Sash. I really liked the idea where you can use HTML forms and Javascript to make Windows desktop applications. Last week, Sash XB for Linux was in the news. So, I downloaded the new Sash and this time around, I really like it. Now it supports XML-RPC and SOAP. Zope is natively XML-RPC enabled. So, you can easily make a desktop front end to your web apps made in Zope. May be store data on the client PC and when connected to web, synch it up and down. Will certainly help people on the go. What is in it for web programmers? They don’t need to waste time learning a GUI toolkit.
Another use I can think of this is as an ideal front end for driving small scripts - I’m not saying that it can do only that. Very often, I write command line scripts in UNIX shell or Python. Our users usually love using a GUI rather than typing in commands with multiple options. As a programmer, I hate having to tinker with VB to make silly forms for these. I need to see whether using Sash will make it easier.
