“Deep within me I fear that the region that learns too much about, instead of from its failures, becomes Detroit.” Well put Ross! Learning from failure needs to be embraced.

A nice writed up on our components after the Java announcement. “Nitobi doesn’t want to be your all and everything solution; they just want to sell you components.” And we want to sell you kick ass components!

Ajax Grid Review. “The most most impressive commercial DataGrid in my opinion is the nitobi Grid at www.nitobi.com but it’s not exactly cheap. ” Thanks. We’re blushing.

BO seems to be on a buying spree. Inxight has an engine to search and make sense of unstructured data. Very cool.

I like to read about business open sourcing their software. The why mostly. Sounds like the Joyent guys have really thought about and it’s going to work for them. I haven’t check out connector, but I will and I’m looking forward to hearing how it goes.

Jake and Brian just took off for RailsConf to learn the latest and greatest in the world of RoR. They also have some war stories about scaling RobotReplay. It seems like 2007 has been the year of Rails project hear at Nitobi, having already launched RobotReplay and we’ll be launching 2 more web app/services this summer built on this shiny new platform. Good times.
Anyway track them and say hi!
Have a good time in Portland boyz!

great post on design and sticking to your guns while incorporating customer/user feedback. this is so hard to do sometimes as designers, entrepreneurs and in all other walks of life. interesting it stems from a flash vs html debate caused by mtv…

DataForce is using Nitobi’s Ajax Grid to improve the usability and the work flow for salespeople using their web based CRM product, LeadNET. They were looking for true “Excel-like” functionality right in the browser with no client side install, so Ajax was the obvious choice.
Some of the features they benefited from most:
- Inline editing of cells
- Select boxes in grid cells
- Live scrolling
- Re-sizable columns
- Frozen columns
- Copy/paste between grids and excel
- Master detail linking between grids
To see all these features in action watch the screencast Jim Romano of DataForce put together . I should add that even major CRM players like Salesforce don’t have anywhere near this type of rich interaction, especially the inline editin, copy and paste and live scrolling. I love it towards the end when he says “this has become the heart of the system”. Just let us know what else you need Jim:)
If you have a cool use of a Nitobi Ajax Component or our Toolkit just let me know and we’ll profile. Not a screencast expert no worries, we’ll help you out!
