Offline access to your online applications
This could be pretty useful if you use mostly online applications ala Basecamp, gmail, and Gcal.
A team of AJAX experts is working on a new capability to enable Web applications to work offline.Brad Neuberg, a San Francisco-based software architect and programmer, said that he, along with the support of some developers at SitePen, of Palo Alto, Calif., is working on the Dojo Offline Toolkit, a small, cross-platform, generic download that allows Web applications to work offline. The tool kit is based on the popular Dojo Toolkit, an Asynchronous JavaScript and XML development system maintained by the Dojo Foundation. Major companies such as IBM and Sun Microsystems are members of the Dojo Foundation.
"I had been prototyping and playing with some ideas around bringing true offline access to Web applications in a simple, generic way," Neuberg said.
To accomplish his goals, Neuberg said he will be working for the next three months "on bringing the Dojo Offline Toolkit from the drawing board to reality."
The tool kit will be an open-source library that brings true, offline access to Web applications, where "users will be able to access their Web applications and work with their data even if no network connection is available, just like desktop applications," Neuberg said.
