Laszlo.....that has been my obsession for the past few days every since I found out about it. As far as I can understand, it is an open source platform on which you can deploy rich web content and applications. The biggest draw for me, of course, has been the fact that it is developed using XML.

So, what can Laszlo do for you? Just check out the clock on the side bar. That is created from Laszlo. To find more components that you can add to your website, check out http://www.blogbox.com/ which has a few Laszlo applications.

The biggest catch for Laszlo is that it is like PHP, ASP, JSP, and all that jazz. It requires server side support. So, how can I run a Laszlo application even though I'm using a generic webhosting from an ISP? Well, that's where http://www.mylaszlo.com/ comes into play. That is basically a free place to host and test your Laszlo applications and other people's applications.
