The inside scoop on what's happening with Tapestry ... from the creator of the Apache Tapestry framework. Plus all the normal, random thoughts on coding and technology.

Tapestry 5 Ajax Screencast
This is a follow on to my previous JSF comparison; Jim Discoll produced a
Simple Ajax JSF example, and this screencast is the Tapestry 5 equivalent. I promise I'll stop now!
Great job, it looks really nice. But I was wondering as you test new technologies when you finish a project milestone. I think you are trying closure right now, have you thought of trying sproutcore js framework ? What would you think about it, and how do you think it could fit with Tapestry ? Could it announce the end of server side presentation framework ?
I use SnapzPro to generate screencasts. Simple, cheap and gets the job done.
I'm interested in some of the pure-client frameworks; Cappuccino is the one that interests me most after a casual glance, because it is modeled on AppKit, the Objective-C framework that I first learned Object Oriented Programming on.
Just spent some time with Cappucino, making myself install the textmate bundle and working through the first tutorial and looking at the photo-arranger app.
Objective-j is compelling -- I esp like being able to message null! -- but it's like the bad old days of hand-coding swing in some layout manager.
A professional IDE with a GUI builder debugging, code-completion, suggestions, etc., is badly needed. Perhaps a killer set of plugins for IntelliJ or Eclipse.

ReplyDeleteJust wondering, what program do you use to record your screencasts?

Great work!

Waiting for more advanced examples of using zones. For example "in place edits" or "dynamic addition of fields to forms"

Thanks Howard, nice succinct example.
ReplyDeleteUpdating zones on webpages from the client side is important for most websites.
ReplyDeleteHowever, automatically updating zones from the server-side (tiggered by events) is at least as important when you start to code a webproject today.
Do you happen to know Badoo?
This is why I have added a Jira wish to integrate Comet/Atmosphere more tightly into Tapestry.
