Hi Ted, as I write in my last response, there is nothing wrong with the various libraries. A few months ago, I started a "tutorial" (it was actually more of a documentation of my trial-and-error attempts) on how to build a complete application structure with these libraries. You can find it on my blog<http://panyasan.wordpress.com/2012/07/29/developing-a-complete-client-server-application-with-qooxdoo-and-node-on-cloud9ide-part-1-application-architecture/>. It was a great experience to see the creativity and productivity of the node community, evidenced by the sheer amount of modules on NPM. I looked at a ACL library, which didn't have a mongodb backend, asked the author, and he added one in no time. What more can you ask for? That's just great. But after a while, I got stuck. There were a lot of loose ends, the stuff didn't naturally fit each other, and I had to spend more and more time on the "glue code". That's not what I expected, and I simply had no time for it. But I am repeating myself. I hope I made myself clearer in the other response. What I need is a higher-level API which expose only functionality, and doesn't directly make me dependent on the libraries. Maybe that's a stupid thing to wish for, but that's how it its for me (remember, I am NOT a professional). In a sense, what I would like to have is a "sandbox" in the sense of Nicolas Z. Zakas' "scalable javascript architecture<http://de.slideshare.net/nzakas/scalable-javascript-application-architecture>" (I talk about it in the first part of the tutorial). -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
