I have published a new article on the programming portal DevX.com , whose title reads JavaScript and jQuery: Web Apps as Highly Interactive as Desktop Apps. The article demonstrates how to leverage the power that comes from JavaScript, jQuery and modern browsers to deliver a new class of web applications, that behave and look like desktop applications, fueled by drag-and-drop, mouse selection, panning, zooming, and more.

You can get a glimpse of the possibilities by looking at this YouTube video. It demonstrates what can be achieved with a bit of Javascript hacking.

If you want to further explore this topic, Rhizosphere is a project explicitly dedicated to this topic.
