Cappuccino is an open source framework that makes it easy to build desktop-caliber applications that run in a web browser.


Features  

Objective-J code

Lightning Objective-J Language

Objective-J is a powerful object-oriented language which compiles to run in the browser. Because Objective-J is a superset of JavaScript, it's easy to mix and match. Objective-J extends JavaScript with traditional inheritance and Smalltalk/Objective-C style dynamic dispatch.

Fish Stunning Controls

Cappuccino's AppKit ships with a huge number of controls, each polished far beyond what's expected on the web. You can quickly build complex apps without reinventing the wheel every time you need a scrollable, sortable, virtual, auto-saves-column-settings table view.

* Fish widget not actually included.

Paint brush Interface Builder

If you have a Mac you can build your Cappuccino user interface in Xcode's Interface Builder, just like you would in Cocoa. Skip the tweak-coordinated-rebuild-test cycle and just place labels and buttons where you need them. The XcodeCapp utility will do the rest.

Cocoa on the web: 280 North, Objective-J, and Cappuccino

...from what I have experienced using 280 Slides, a future with Cappuccino based-apps is a bright one.

Why Objective-J, Cappuccino and SproutCore are completely changing the web app industry

...if you use Cappuccino, those apps will automatically look and behave like ... desktop apps - with zero learning curve on the developer's side. He or she can simply focus on building an kick ass app instead of trying to re-invent basic UI functionality every single time.

An interview with 280 North on Objective-J and Cappuccino

I can see the allure of Objective-J / Cappuccino for building desktop-like Web applications. It gives you a very high level abstraction over the browser. No more DOM. No more CSS layouts, which can be the bane of your existence for a complicated and dynamic layout.
