Great new Rich UI features in RBD 8

[Joe Pluta <joepluta@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

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:
