It is nice having time to actually look at my email and check out what has been going in the world! Having been thoroughly swamped with preparing JavaOne / XTech talks, conitnuing product development and support, and flying half way across the world I finally have a spare moment to report on a few things of note that happened this past week at Nitobi. Luckily I can lift most of it from Alexei

First of all we have released some new support for Complete UI on Java. This coincided with our presence at JavaOne of course. The new stuff includes support for Eclipse, JSP taglib, servlets, Struts and more. Check it out here. Alexei even created a way cool video overview and posted it here - he has such a good screencast voice!

There is some other video to watch as well and that is a video interview Andre did for WebProNews about Nitobi and RobotReplay.

The Enterprise Ajax book is now available on Rough Cuts. The other thing in this vein is that it looks like we will also be producing some video content to go along with the book - should be interesting to see how that works out!

Next week, I will be in Paris to give a presentation at XTech on declarative Ajax programming - 9am Thursday May 17. I will talk about some of the driving factors behind declarative Ajax and have a few examples / demos. XTech is a really good quality conference I think and there are lots of interesting people going to be there - it should fun!

Some other Nitobi people (Jake and Brian) are going to be down in Portland for RailsConf over the Canadian long weekend (ha!). Hopefully they will find some good Rails action and have a few nice Portland brews!

RobotReplay is continuing to evolve and we are getting very close to moving some of the service over to EC2 and getting all the servers organized in preparation for a few way cool new features. Last week we got around to implementing a few new things as well and started to purge people’s old sessions to help keep things working smoothly

We also have a few cool new projects and products on the go that we will be blogging about soon!

I have been playing around with RobotReplay playback and made a simple little mouse trail. Check out the movie of a test playback below.

Just starting to scratch the surface really!

Also posted over on the RobotReplay blog.

I am leaving for San Francisco first thing on Monday morning and then off to London and Paris on thursday for XTech.

If anyone wants to meet up for a beer and chat about Ajax, Flex or our new RobotReplay service!

Can’t wait to get back to London!

We have finally released the public Beta of our RobotReplay service. What RobotReplay does is it records the mouse movements, clicks, and key presses and allows you to play them back. The service is completely Ajax based with no special plugins. Right now we don’t have much in the way of features but we are going to be constantly adding more and listening to our users about what they want to see.

First take a look at Andre’s screencast.

Otherwise, just sign up now and see what your users are doing.
