If you're interested in Rich UI development, I've just written an article for IBM Systems Magazine on the new Rich UI features in RBD 8. RBD 8 will be available in a couple of weeks, so you might want to take a look at the article and see if you want to make some time to look at the new version. It's really pretty stunning.

Basically, IBM has taken everything they've learned with their thin client WYSIWYG designer (which is one of the best inthe business, IMHO) and applied it to their rich client technology. This is the sort of thing that really puts EGL at the forefront when it comes to business application development. There are lots of GUI tools out there, but EGL's focus on removing the complexity (i.e., taking care of the plumbing) allows green screen folks to concentrate on the business rules without having to become an expert on the many underlying technologies.

The article is in two parts:
