Adobe Dreamweaver isn’t know for it’s JavaScript support let alone coding help for the popular JavaScript libraries and frameworks. Up to now, developers and designers who’ve used DW for their client-side work have been left out of the fun of other IDEs such as Eclipse and Komodo . That’s all changed now that to a couple new extensions for Dreamweaver have been built. Chris Charlton, Community Manager for RMI, has created extensions for Dreamweaver versions 6-9 (MX-CS3) that offer support for jQuery 1.2 and Prototype 1.6 development. The jQuery API extension seems to be the farthest along offering code completion, code hints, code coloring, and a bunch of snippets that early beta users liked. The Prototype API extension only has basic code completion but is due for an update in the next few weeks to offer extended code hints. The code hints appear when editing a JS document and XTND.us has a short video of an extension in use. The demo video and downloads are freely available at http://xtnd.us. We use these tools every day and help train people… it’s time the tools get better.
He’s also planning on incorporating support for other libs and I’m sure would love some support in making this happen. So all you MooTools and YUI developers, get on the horse and help Chris out.
WSO2 is offering its open-source WSO2 Mashup Server product, which leverages JavaScript and Web services in assembling mashups, on Monday. In positioning the product for use by JavaScript developers, the company is looking to enable delivery of more functional mashups than can be built with alternative GUI-based tools. A hosted online version of Mashup Server, called Mooshup.com, also will be launched Monday as a community site for developing and sharing mashups.

Startup Skyfire on Monday introduced a mobile browser that can display Web sites built using any Web technology, making the experience on a mobile phone very similar to the desktop.
The free, downloadable browser is currently being offered as a private beta for smartphones running Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT)'s Windows Mobile operating system. Skyfire said it will roll out versions for Symbian smartphones in the coming months and for other platforms thereafter. It will work on both touch screen and non-touch screen phones.
Visual WebGui, developer of the AJAX enterprise application development and deployment platform, today announces the availability of their enhanced browser-based solution.
The defining characteristic of any RIA is that it has a stateful client that is (or should be) platform and browser independent. Thin-client web applications grew from the need to provide applications with more reach, easy access to server side data, and to alleviate the pain of having to install and configure thick client software.
Ajax expert, Nitobi Inc., releases the latest version of Complete UI, a suite of sophisticated Ajax user-interface components for enterprise web applications.
The next version of Lotus Notes and Domino will ship in February and will feature an array of updates, including a new Web 2.0-style feature called My Widgets, IBM said Monday during its Lotusphere show in Orlando, Florida.
Real Software is adding an object-oriented introspection capability to its RealBasic rapid application development tool Tuesday and has set sights on tuning the product for Web development. Supported on Windows, Linux, and Macintosh, RealBasic gives Visual Basic developers a familiar environment.
The main concern of any project manager is if there are enough people in the pool of Flex developers to staff the project. Yes, there is a pool of Flex developers, but let's look at the creature called 'Flex Developer' under the microscope. If you are considering adding Flex to your set of skills, it?s still early in the game and you can join the fast growing Flex community.
Good news for you guys, I've started porting some of the components I've made past few years for .NET framework into ActionScript, first thing i want to present you is IRC Client Component for AsWing, I've uploaded first beta on SVN already so basically you can start working with it.

Looking for another reason to upgrade to 2008? How about performance! In addition to making tasks easier for you from release to release, another way we can save you time and make you more productive is by making the product faster! This is a goal we are very commited to on the VB team, and for which we have dedicated an entire virtual team for the Orcas release.
Take a look at Lisa Feigenbaum post for more details
SpringSource, formerly known as Interface21, a leading provider of trusted open source software for building and deploying mission-critical enterprise applications, today announced the final release of Spring.NET 1.1, an application framework for the development and deployment of enterprise .NET applications.
It's been a pretty busy fall and winter in software tools.
In early December, Google hosted its Google Web Toolkit conference. Probably not coincidentally that same week, Microsoft took the wraps off its nascent Volta toolset.
Both products allow developers to use their existing expertise in Java (GWT) or in .NET-supported languages (Volta) to write applications that will run on any device supporting JavaScript.
And thus the battle for developers' hearts and minds continues along the Java vs. .Net front.
Microsoft (NSDQ:MSFT) has modified its Web server licensing terms for Windows Server 2008 in what looks like an attempt to compete more effectively with open source alternatives, CRN has learned.
According to an internal Microsoft document viewed by CRN, Microsoft will not require a client access license (CAL) for the Windows Web Server 2008 SKU, and will allow users to run any type of database software with no limit on the number of users, provided they deploy it as an Internet-facing front-end server.
