My evaluation went as follow: - Check the demos, it showed to me that qooxdoo could do real desktop-y applications that other frameworks seemed to have trouble with. I'm pleased with the widget and the possibilities for creating my own interface. I need to port a VB6 app to the web and qooxdoo seems to be well able to enable me to do that. - Check the features page, everything seems great - Check the api, qooxdoo truly seems features rich At that point, I had spend more than half an hour on qooxdoo and I the SDK wasn't even on my hard drive yet! I then checked the manual and the possibilities of the toolchain looked pretty good to me. In my humble opinion, a quickstart doesn't do much good. qooxdoo needs more effort upfront anyway because you have to learn about its class system, properties and all to really get the benefits it offers. qooxdoo is a frameworks that pays in the medium and long term. I believe the ticket is to convince future users that qooxdoo is what they need and then learning the toolchain seems like a minor hurdle. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ qooxdoo-devel mailing list qooxdoo-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/qooxdoo-devel
