Sometime on Oct 15, DJ cobbled together some glyphs to say:
So lets see, if I am a project manager and I want to make an app, what do I do? 1. Get people to learn JS / HTML and XHTML and all possible w3 standards. 2. Get people to build an extensive infrastructure like GWT. 3. Make a Java / Python / Perl / C / <insert your favorite language here> to JS/HTML compiler. 4. Tweak it until it generates perfect output for all browsers ( including Lynx and what not ) 5. Then start with actually building the app that I had in mind. or do i do away with the first 4 steps and start with the last one directly? Yes I would do exactly that.
So would I, but my development process would ensure that it works everywhere.
What is the need for the app to work in Lynx? People want to do some serious work so they give a damn about whether your code generates 100%
Do you hate blind people?
IMHO, it is not feasible for any project to survive or get completed if
I do it all the time.
you're going start by getting together a bunch of programmers who start developing the app by learning JS/HTML/XHTML. Unless you have JS / HTML
If you want to develop a web app, you need web developers. If you don't have web devs, don't make a web app.
experts, you'll have them pulling out their hair in no time while trying to get code that works well with all possible browsers out
No they won't. I know loads of developers who can make single web apps that work cross-browser.
There is a right way to do things and many wrong ways. Unfortunately, most developers just know one of the wrong ways.
