Hi Just a quick note to let the Morfik community know: I was able to port the analog clock to Morfik in like 4 hours from not knowing anything about the new way of life to production code. The new custom control architecture is far superior to the previous one, although not for the faint hearted. And some enhancements (like length (e.g. 4px), TColor and TFont properties) would be in order!

I’ll add some more features and then the Clock joins the PMAP control collection!

A more detailed account to come…

Yes! Morfik 2.0 is out at last! After a very long hiatus (the last true “beta” was released sometime early summer) the new Morfik 2.0 Web Application Builder is out.

I’m (quite:-) closely following the Morfik saga since late 2005 and did have many long discussions with Aram, Fuad, Mauricio and Shah about direction in the past three years, sometimes pretty heated chats about the vision and execution, so I’m not an unanimous supporter of everything Morfik, but version 2 is a very significant step in the good direction.

The new visual design concept with themes, states, popup customization, etc. is a major step forward for web application design. I see real innovation here.  Go and check out the tutorial videos, it is worthwhile! I wouldn’t say that I’m fond of the sixties look of the new demo apps (and of the new Morfik site itself), but the design flexibility is impressive and the functionality seems to be very well thought out.

I’ll be looking into the new version in the coming days and weeks (we do have some projects that now will have to be ported anyway, especially our PMAP controls and libraries), so stay tuned for new comments to come.
