<p>The rich web application toolkit <a href="http://www.laszlosystems.com/">Laszlo</a> just <a href="http://www.davidtemkin.com/mtarchive/000006.html">went open source</a>. I&#8217;ve wanted to mess with Laszlo for a while, now maybe I can find an excuse.</p>

<p>The <a href="http://www.laszlosystems.com/lps/laszlo-in-ten-minutes/">Laszlo in ten minutes</a> area allows you to step through the basics of writing Laszlo&#8217;s xml file, and get live feedback on your modifications of their tutorial. It&#8217;s a great way to get a feel for simple development.</p>

<p>Whoo hoo.</p>
