Sun's new Ajax framework jMaki is so cool that it lets you mix and match the various javascript libraries available. For example, you can use one dojo widget and another custom widget.

maki, means wrapping things and guess what we did next - wrapped it up in our web application framework 'netForce' as a plug-in. We are still exploring how jMaki can hep us use various ajax components and technologies in unified and simple way.

While jMaki is cool enough and it is very easy to add widgets to your jsp page or web application, I think for web based products one should try to find a common javascript library that can do most of the stuff needed. Dojo is supposed to offer all that we may need in a very clean way. Let's wait to get it mature enough.

This is the first entry of this blog and I thought telling you all about the hats I wear. Yes I changed my designation on this blog as cEo which emphasizes 'E'  which represents much more than Executive as Zaidsoft is small technology focused firm so here everyone wears as many hats as possible. Me too!

So for me E means in some sense 'Everything' at least by the kind of work i have to do.

Life in small technology companies is quite different from those bigwigs where everyone is in charge of something very specific. So if someone asks the CEO about something technology related the obvious answer you may expect will be that "Please contact Mr. A as I think I am not the right person to talk about this". Well, if you ask me the same sort of question, you can pretty much expect me to answer it right away without delegating it to someone else.

So then sometimes I think, the work culture of small firms makes them more agile towards addressing customer needs and so it appears better if you put CEO like cEo.
