Dear Reader,

The theme on the O'Reilly Network for January has been frameworks,
libraries, and tools. And these topics are being read and written about
this week as well. We have Stripes from the frameworks area, Prototype from the
library angle, and an article that provides insights for using more than 170 open
source tools for Windows developers.

Did you know that there are free and open source tools, frameworks,
utilities, and widgets for Windows development? James Avery and Jim
Holmes discuss how you can find everything from complete ready-to-run
frameworks, such as the Enterprise Library and Mono, to tiny gadgets that do only
small tasks (but do them very well), such as Unlocker or Cropper.
Check out "The Case for Freeware and Open Source Windows Tools."

Another open source tool you should check out is the Java framework
called Stripes. See why Mark Eagle feels that Stripes distinguishes
itself from other action-based Java Web frameworks by offering some of
the simplicity available in Rails. Check out "Java Web Development with
Stripes."

And from the library angle, you should read "What's New in Prototype
1.5" by Scott Raymond to see why Prototype 1.5 is thought of as the
standard library for JavaScript. See why Prototype has amassed a huge
user base, beyond the Rails community-—from dozens of Web 2.0
startups to household names like Apple, NBC, and Gucci.
