Building Web Applications with Echo2

Echo2 is a framework you can use to create applications, and it’s recently been upgraded to support Ajax. Echo2 is a package for creating Web-based applications that work much like the applications you’d find on a desktop computer. In version 2, the creators of the Echo package have made dramatic improvements in performance and capabilities. When you use Echo2, you don’t even need to know anything about HTML, HTTP, or even JavaScript.

Building full applications with Echo2 is beyond the scope of this book, but you can take a look at an online demo at http://demo.nextapp.com/Email/app, a Web-based e-mail program that appears in Figure 7-9.
