Web frameworks and presentations

While evaluating some web frameworks (like ExtJS, YUI, Sproutcore and others) the framework "Cappuccino" just does things a bit more weird (or just call it revolutionary if you want): It tries to hide all the funny HTML, CSS and JS bits from you by requiring to learn a new language called Objective-J. Not really what I want.

However, there's a really neat and useful application that already uses the Cappuccino framework: 280 Slides

With this you easily can create Powerpoint-like presentations just in your web browser and present plus export the slides into PPTX format. Did I mention that 280 Slides is free? Now I did.

Browser as a ghost

For all you kids and/or 1337 people who really don't need a frontend for a browser (or just want to test web stuff in an automated way, which is pretty neat to do with this!) I noticted PhantomJS, a headless, WebKit-based browser component: http://www.phantomjs.org/

PolyMaps - soon at a place near you

Just stumbled over PolyMaps, an open source Javascript framework for rendering map data of OpenStreetMap, CloudMade and Bing in (not-yet overall) supported SVG format live in your browser, amazing stuff! Hop over to http://polymaps.org/ to learn more.
