Cappuccino is a framework which makes it easy to create advanced web apps. With just a few lines of code you can have an app built with full undo and redo, truly amazing table views, drag and drop and every modern UI appearance and behaviour you might expect on the desktop.
Download CappuccinoWhen you program in Cappuccino, you don't need to concern yourself with the complexities of document-focused web technologies like HTML, CSS, or even the DOM. Cappuccino is focused on making apps and the unpleasantries of building complex cross browser applications are abstracted away for you.

Objective-J Language
Objective-J is a powerful object-oriented language which compiles to run in the browser. Because Objective-J is a superset of JavaScript, it's easy to mix and match. Objective-J extends JavaScript with traditional inheritance and Smalltalk/Objective-C style dynamic dispatch.

Stunning Controls
Cappuccino's AppKit ships with a huge number of controls, each polished far beyond what's expected on the web. You can quickly build complex apps without reinventing the wheel every time you need a scrollable, sortable, virtual, auto-saves-column-settings table view.
* Fish widget not actually included.
Interface Builder
If you have a Mac you can build your Cappuccino user interface in Xcode's Interface Builder, just like you would in Cocoa. Skip the tweak-coordinated-rebuild-test cycle and just place labels and buttons where you need them. The XcodeCapp utility will do the rest.

...from what I have experienced using 280 Slides, a future with Cappuccino based-apps is a bright one.
Chris Foresman, Ars Technica
...if you use Cappuccino, those apps will automatically look and behave like ... desktop apps - with zero learning curve on the developer's side. He or she can simply focus on building an kick ass app instead of trying to re-invent basic UI functionality every single time.

I can see the allure of Objective-J / Cappuccino for building desktop-like Web applications. It gives you a very high level abstraction over the browser. No more DOM. No more CSS layouts, which can be the bane of your existence for a complicated and dynamic layout.
