I really love AJAX, but sometimes this javascript/HTML/CSS combination makes me crazy. What alternative I have to create a rich engaging web administration panel (web application)?

I tried Adobe Flex, it seams cool, but its complexity is not to be underestimated.

What do you think?

  • I would have suggested Flex. Have you tried Silverlight? – Adam Dec 03 '10 at 22:18

  • Flash, Silverlight, or Desktop App. Other than that, HTML/CSS/JavaScript is not as bad as you make it out to be (and is even more confusing because AJAX stands for Asynchronous Javascript And Xml, so I'm not sure where your issues are coming from). – riwalk Dec 03 '10 at 22:20
  • @joni - you did not get the joke, did you :) – user297159 Dec 03 '10 at 22:24
  • OK, all the same, Flex, Silverlight, jQuery... aren't some new and innovative technologies out there? Where I can create an app fast and painless. – user297159 Dec 03 '10 at 22:26
  • There is no magic button that you click and it gives you exactly what you want. (There are wizards for some things, but I consider them evil.) – simshaun Dec 03 '10 at 22:28

Out of the technologies, I would think that HTML, CSS, and JavaScript would be the least confusing. HTML and CSS are very easy to grasp. JavaScript takes a little more effort, but using a library such as jQuery simplifies it quite a bit.
