Hello
I have begun some extension building for implementing
DynAPI with Dreamweaver Ultradev (also am trying my
best at developing DynAPI extensions and Widgets, but
that's off the point here...)
What I forsee as most troublesome with it is to
integrate DynAPI into the Dreamweaver WYSIWYG UI.
Since I'm only a beginner at DW extension building I
don't know how to get around it and frankly I'm not
sure if it's even possible.
Instead I have had the idea that maybe a webapp that
is a webeditor fit for DynAPI development is in place.
It's actually what I was planning to do anyway, since
my development is aimed at an webbased development
application for creation of eComics. And I'm going to
use DynAPI as base for both it's userinterface as well
as the development IDE (with a few custom additions).
Anyway what would be a better development enviroment
than the same to develop for? :)
I'd be more than happy to team up in a task group
focusing on this. I can contribute with system,
database and UI modelling to work from (I have some
schooling in this) and then coding lighter
javascript/DHTML/DynAPI to basic ASP (only � a year of
experience). If there's any highlevel programming I'll
be totally lost though (only touched it).
How about if we start a new project like "DynAPI RAD
Tool" at sourceforge? Are there any takers that will
and can contribute anything in line for this kind of
meta-app development?
I guess it's a pretty heavy task if to cover all of
DynAPI (especially with the heavy development changes
of the DynAPI itself), so we better be a few (approx
at least 6-8 people) with varied experience before we
even start planning it. Are there that many inerested
and willing to contribute to have a DynAPI RAD tool?
