That's a lot of JavaScript files. Obviously, a lot of work has
gone into this new framework.
I have griped about the number of individual files .. I think it
should be packed, but it does dynamic class loading, which means
you only download what you use, and it also caches so you only get
them the first time. I still think the foundation classes should be
packed into a single file, though.
Is this a complete Apple JS framework or does it rely on a secondary
framework i.e. prototype?
Complete stack.
Why not have a JavaScript file that loads the necessary dependencies
after the dom is loaded?
It does -- that's what i meant when i said it's does dynamic class
loading (which then is implemented via dynamic script loading). My
point was that this is overly fetchy when you consider that every app
is going to kick off the foundation classes.
That's pretty cool. I need to re-read your blog about ERRest. From
your description it sounds like the Javascript will be obfuscated
and you'll just program the view like you do now. Is that right?
Are you talking about ERRest here or Gianduia in particular? ERRest is
just about building restful services that can be vended out to any
number of front-ends. As far as building Gianduia apps, you currently
would do it entirely in JS/HTML. You could build some webobjects
components, but Gianduia IS component-based, so has its own html
templates and javascript component controllers, etc. So there's some
level of complexity in making a webobjects component stack that
generates another component stack. From my perspective, I don't know
that it's worth building a server stack on top of it as much as I
think it would be nice to leverage the development tools we already
have to make it easier to write the Javascript.
You should buy the WOWODC videos from this past year ... I show a lot
more information about Gianduia in there.
