Hi I'm new here (but not new to JavaScript), I've been lurking here for a week or so, and I'm very impressed with DynAPI 3.0, especially the new widgets in the nightly snapshots. Just awesome. And the editor. And IOS. So much cool stuff.
Let me tell you a bit about my plans, how I hope to use DynAPI 3.0: I am planning on generating dynamic pages containing DynAPI user interfaces from a httpd, so I'll probably be releasing a library for generating the pages as a separate project. Then, the pages will communicate via IOObjects or a simpler mechanism like jsrs (http://www.ashleyit.com/rs/jsrs/test.htm) with the server. That is, I intend to use the DynAPI user interface as a view on webapps running on my server. The server is tclhttpd (http://www.tcl.tk/software/tclhttpd/) and the programming language I intend to write the generator library in is Tcl. I have a demo of jsrs communicating with my server, running at http://mod3.net:8888/jsrs22/test.htm, so I have a proof of concept that this back-n-forth communication is possible. You can check it out, it just shows a bit of what can be done with this kind of setup. So given that scenario, I have a few questions: * Are the 3.0 APIs solidly defined enough for me to start writing the generation library? * I haven't figured out templates and couldnt find a lot of documentation. Do I need to worry about that or is that only for widget writers? * Also, I havent figured out the client-server communications via IOObject. I didnt find any server implementations in languages I understand (Tcl, PHP). If there's a PHP implementation perhaps I can snarf that and retrofit it for tclhttp. This is already too long so I'll stop now. I can write a lot more about my use scenario, if you ask :) --JYL ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Dynapi-Dev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/
