Review of GI which I found on stackoverflow. GI is a JavaScript Library. I am a fan of jQuery but will test it too. One of my client use GI.
========== Everybody talks about various JavaScript libraries and how cool one is vs. the other. How many developers really think about the bottomline impactfor their clients/employers???? In our analysis, we found that if you were to build a typical browser-based, serious business application using any of the frameworks/libraries mentioned above, you are likely to have an army of developers developing things in mostly inconsistent manner unless you have an army of code-reviewers/architects who understand how to achieve good modeling in JavaScript-based applications. And even if you used best of what is available today, it is likely to be outdated in a matter of months if not weeks because landscape is changing so fast. Why is everyone getting so excited about coding JavaScript code to design some cool looking ui, but not even asking where are IDEs that once existed 15/20 years ago?? Does anyone even know/understand what I am talking about? Why are we coding same solutions again and again, instead of drag and drop IDE and the productivity that can be achieved with it? At end of the day, what matters to the business is a quality, usable business solution that can deliver a lasting solution for years (not months or quarters!) Finally, coming to the point, after thorough research we settled on General Interface (http://www.generalinterface.org) - originally from Tibco and now donated to the Dojo foundation. It is not the most ideal solution for creating s3xy Ui, but provides pretty good options for creating a meaningful business application. *If you haven't looked at it yet, building little more than s3xy websites, and have a capability to understand the business perspective (along with technical maturity_), then do explore this! You might be pleasantly surprised.* -- ┌─────────────────────────┐ │ Narendra Sisodiya │ http://narendrasisodiya.com └─────────────────────────┘ -- Mailing list guidelines and other related articles: http://lug-iitd.org/Footer
