PHOBOS AND DOJO
Dojo is more than "an Ajax library". It is a set of JavaScript libraries and packaging system. It just so happens to have a remote binding API in there too.
Phobos has seen this and you can now use Dojo on the server side when using the Phobos framework.
JAVASCRIPT:
-
-
response.status = 200;
-
response.contentType = "text/html";
-
writer = response.getWriter();
-
writer.println("<html><head><title>Dojo Sample</title></head><body>");
-
-
library.dojo.load();
-
dojo.require("dojo.widget.*");
-
-
writer.println("OK");
-
writer.println("</body></html>");
-
writer.flush();
-
We talked about how Phobos could be a killer app under the nose of Sun in the past.
LOCAL.CH MARKETPLACE
Patrice Neff and his team have released a new market place at market.local.ch.
Ajax features are abound, and include:
- An input form for creating a new listing is a WYSIWYG form where the inputs are immediately displayed the way they will look in the end. (Example)
- The upload of pictures is done with a nice progress meter so users get feedback about how long the upload is going to take.
TWEEBOX 1.0: BROWSER BASED CHOOSE-YOUR-OWN-ADVENTURES
Chris Klimas has free Tweebox 1.0, which is a browser-based covering utilised to create mutual stories.
Aside: You advert the beatific older Choose Your Own Adventures books. This is them for the web. I ready intellection that someone module do this for the bounteous screen, and the conference votes at different times. Then grouping haw clear to go to wager the aforementioned flick more than once.
This is a evenhandedly unequalled covering in that because it reads and writes files on the user’s computer, it’s meant to be separate locally. Nevertheless, it uses a aggregation of Ajax technology. It uses moo.fx’s older Ajax collection to feature files, browser-specific functions glommed from different places to indite the files, and JSON ransomed to a cake to digest send data.
It requires IE6+ or a Mozilla-based browser, but the files it creates crapper be viewed in some recent browser.
SLIDE SHARE: YOU TUBE FOR PRESENTATIONS
Slide Share is a community sharing site for slide presentations.
It has mimicked a lot of the YouTube features, and has some nice ones such as the translation of slides.
The feel is nice and interactive, and it appears to be powered by Prototype and Script.aculo.us.
