It smoothly integrates features of object-oriented and functional languages". It is available for the JVM and it integrates very well with Java.

This course has been developed to provide new J2EE developers with an introduction in AJAX technology. The course explains what the technology is, how you can use it in your own applications and how a JavaScript Toolkit (e.g. Dojo) can ease the effort in implementing AJAX applications.

Running an open-source business

When you are in a so called "professional open source" company, it is always wise to eat your own dog food. In our case, we use open source technology in almost all of our day-to-day operations.

As a (starting) company, we try to avoid any unnecessary costs. Software licensing is one of them: you can avoid it almost entirely if you take a look at what is available in open-source packages.
