Submission + - Morfik's Ajax Platform Gets Set To Launch in March
ReadWriteWeb writes: "Morfik, has mostly been flying under the radar for the past year, but their 100% Ajax platform is getting set for its 1.0 release at the end of March. In this profile and interview, Read/WriteWeb explores how Morfik is building a platform on which developers can develop complex and highly functional Ajax applications. In a nutshell, Morfik allows developers to use high-level programming languages (which give the developer more power — e.g. BASIC, C#, Pascal) to create web apps. It does this by converting apps from high level language INTO Ajax code. An example is AjaxSalesforce, described as a demonstration of "what a Salesforce.com experience could truly be like, if state-of-the-art Ajax technology is used".
Morfik's main competition may be Google. The Google Web Toolkit is a similar tool to Morfik, in that it enables developers to create sophisticated Ajax applications using Java. There was even a rumor swirling around in May last year that Google partnered with Morfik, or licensed technology from it. Morfik is tight-lipped about GWT, as they are apparently still under NDA obligations. However, they said that "despite Google's technology claims, Google does not use GWT for any of its on-line services", implying that Morfik's technology is far more sophisticated and complete than GWT."
