I like web front-end using Java script, AJAX more than Flash/Flex. Although RIA technology is improved , I still love to direct code in HTML, CSS, and Java script. They allow me control the basic foundation stuff, so I can avoid lock-in framework.
I start to use GWT (Google Web Toolkit) from 1.5 and it helps me quick demo UI layout and idea. I like to write a road map to explain how I learn.

<startup-class>MyStartup</startup-class>
<startup-uri>MyArchive.jar</startup-uri>
</startup>
<shutdown>
<shutdown-class>MyShutdown</shutdown-class>
<shutdown-uri>MyArchive.jar</shutdown-uri>
</shutdown>
