Rich internet application.

Just found Bindows.

Man, it surely looks impressive!

Check the web board which is made using Bindows here. I guess if you remove the browser’s title bars, you can not say whether it’s desktop app or client app! Fantastic work is this!

Though, from cursory glance, it looks like it’s not all super simple to create all those rich clients. But this has certainly added one more thing on my to-do list!

Bookmarklets - Nifty way to browse.

Bookmarklets - nify little code pieces, which can be amazingly helpful while you hunt around Wild Wild Web. [Thanks to Simon for blogging about Bookmarklet]

I wanted to blog about Bookmarklets much earlier, but somehow I always missed it out!

Anyways, here it goes:

What are Bookmarklets? They are nothing but tiny piece of JavaScript code which can be added to your bookmarks (or Favourites if you are using IE). (And that is why the name Bookmarklets). Wondering what?s the BIG deal?

Say you want to see which all cookies are being set by the page which you are currently viewing. It’s one-click with bookmarklet.

Want to resize the window so that size matches to window being run at 800×600 resolution? You have it.

Want to see hidden fields being used in form? It’s there too!

They are simple but amazingly powerful! Grab them here.
