I've been looking at this just in the last couple weeks so here are my experiences...
I looked at the usual suspects and in the end settled on YUI, as it seemed to have the most complete tutorials, examples, and API docs; also has a good set of components, and, most importantly, the particular one that I was after at the time. My experience with dojo was that it was heavyweight, the examples killed my browser half the time, and the docs were patchy, even though there were a lot of them. I glanced at jQuery; it's probably very good but I'd just come from Yahoo where I found all of the docs laid out in a systematic and easy to follow manner, and the jQuery page was just a bit overwhelming; looks like all the info is there though. Also looked at GWT; the thought of writing javascript in java just threw me completely. Why try to make plastic out of steel? I started using Prototype when all I had to do was a few simple Ajax callbacks; I've seen mst can Prototype more than once on this list, and never quite understood why. For doing the basics, it seemed more than adequate to me. It was probably mst's biases that sent me looking at YUI and others rather than Scriptaculous for the pre-built components. As someone who avoids writing javascript as much as possible, I've found YUI very tolerable. -- Jon On Fri, 2007-08-03 at 11:09 +0200, Hartmaier Alexander wrote: > Hi Octavian! > > They all have nothing to do with either the template language or the web > framework. > I started using Dojo for some nice fading effects and a date selector and > imho > the docs are ok. > > -abraxxa > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Octavian Rasnita [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Sent: Friday, August 03, 2007 9:47 AM > > To: Catalyst@lists.rawmode.org > > Subject: [Catalyst] Ajax > > > > Hi, > > > > Which of the Ajax modules do you recommend using in a Catalyst app? > > I am interested especially to know which of them work better with > > Template-Toolkit and DBIx::Class. > > > > For the moment I am not interested in the most advanced, but in the > > most > > simple to use by someone that doesn't know Javascript very well. > > > > Thank you. > > > > Octavian > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > > List: Catalyst@lists.rawmode.org > > Listinfo: http://lists.rawmode.org/mailman/listinfo/catalyst > > Searchable archive: http://www.mail- > > archive.com/catalyst@lists.rawmode.org/ > > Dev site: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/ > > _______________________________________________ > List: Catalyst@lists.rawmode.org > Listinfo: http://lists.rawmode.org/mailman/listinfo/catalyst > Searchable archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/catalyst@lists.rawmode.org/ > Dev site: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/ _______________________________________________ List: Catalyst@lists.rawmode.org Listinfo: http://lists.rawmode.org/mailman/listinfo/catalyst Searchable archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/catalyst@lists.rawmode.org/ Dev site: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/
