I guess what I am trying to say is... that javascript libraries bundled up with tapestry I interpret to be canonical in nature. And I am hoping to see more canonical libraries that truely belong in this space forthcoming. I cant say I am impressed with the object oriented nature of javascript and hacking DOM's to be objects... this should be left to machines instead of people.
But maybe it dont matter what I say From: nhhockeypla...@hotmail.com To: users@tapestry.apache.org Subject: JavaScript Libraries anticipation for T5.4 Date: Tue, 11 Mar 2014 10:39:40 -0400 I noticed bootstrap is included in T5.4... I hope this is the trend with meaningful libraries. I think there needs to be more definition in the area of layouts and components. And I see a push and pull with regard to javascript vs java. The pure javascript folks are happy to leave java in the dust because they got no sense of the back end like java folks do. Just because elements have attributes one could say objects have properties and there should be a symmetric mapping... correspondence. I would like to see T54.4 address the area of MVC MVVC and object binding. Unless the java folks leave their stuff beat and unused... javascript will set a pace and could artificially capture alot of the job market like it is right now. Some companies think they can go straight with css html and javascript alone. I always liked tapestry's javascript and that it enabled me to get inside the in between of things and do what pure javascript couldn't never mind the whole server side orm space. Does anyone have heavy usage of bootstrap with tapestry example ? - K
