AjaxianPaul Colton posted that Aptana has a couple of new recruits in Greg Murray and Ryan Johnson.
Greg Murray was the Ajax guy at Sun, created jMaki, and did a lot of work in organizations such as the Open Ajax Alliance. Ryan Johnson is the creator of the livepipe and object.event Ajax libraries. What are they doing?
Greg's primary role will be creating increasingly robust application frameworks for Jaxer, Aptana's open source Ajax server product. Ryan has already been working on MVC concepts for Jaxer and will be collaborating with Greg and the rest of the Jaxer team to drive that and other great concepts for Jaxer forward.
The timing could not be better. Greg and Ryan have joined up just before we get the Jaxer 1.0 release candidate out the door to the whole community (it's just a matter of days now). This puts us in a great position to start working on some of the next things that'll be in store for Jaxer in the coming months -- and there are some great ideas brewing. For example, Greg and Ryan have already been collaborating with the Jaxer team to create an ActiveRecord-like JavaScript ORM for Jaxer that promises to make working with JavaScript data a pleasure -- since it'll all be native JavaScript!
