Subject: Delphi for PHP screencast... some AJAX going on? Date: Wed, 21 Feb 2007 14:09:32 +1100 =============== Just some comments: -It has Ajax integration, but depends on the component developer to use it or not, or to abstract it more or not, for example, the DBGrid component uses Ajax to update the data on the server without any line of code and we provide the infraestructure in the VCL base classes to develop components without the hassle of implement a complete new ajax solution every time -If you want to develop components and use your own ajax package, you can, because the VCL has been designed to be open enough to integrate almost anything you can imagine, that's the key of the framework, you are not tied to anything -The VCL for PHP framework has been designed to make easy integrate scripts already written, for example, create a component to wrap the Google Maps functionality, and use it on your application, it takes less than 5 minutes and is less than 90 lines of code, in which most are not functional code. -The product started as a code editor, that's the tool for most (if not all) PHP coders out there, so it loads fast, that was one of the goals, in fact, I use it as a common text editor ;-). After that you can create visual applications using the visual part and yes, it's truly RAD -Also you are not forced to develop applications in a fixed way, that is, if you don't like to develop websites using the components, the VCL has support for template engines (included Smarty support, but more can be developed easily in pure PHP) so you can keep your graphic artist generating HTML + CSS + Images and then add the live part on that templates using the IDE. And finally, remind the VCL for PHP is completely OpenSource, this is something really nice because it will be a live project and we will accept patches and third-party components to be integrated into and shipped with future versions.

Well .. the question is how easy is the integration done in "Delphi for PHP". My first tests showed that VS2005 & ASP.NET AJAX is actually much easier to use than PHP & XAJAX. I hope Delphi for PHP has some smart mambo jambo wizardry to make integration of this a bit easier.

AJAX is just a framework. If PHP has AJAX extensions then it would be silly if the CodeGear product couldn't support those extensions. _______________________________________________ Delphi mailing list Delphi@ns3.123.co.nz http://ns3.123.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/delphi _______________________________________________ Delphi mailing list Delphi@ns3.123.co.nz http://ns3.123.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/delphi
