> (I saw something about a cgi-connection or something?) ExtPascal has CGI gateway which accept request and forward it to an FCGI application. You may look at how it works here: http://code.google.com/p/extpascal/wiki/Overview

I could understand if ExtJS license becomes problem for some people. But I don't understand why FCGI is the problem, unless you want to host your application in common web hosting that doesn't provide FCGI. I myself moved from Powtils to ExtPascal because it supports FCGI (long before fpWeb supports FCGI). I got significant performance boost and enhance my development productivity because I can debug it as if it's a normal (desktop) application. > And it's not that hard, in fact it's easy.

I thought it's the best alternative for ExtJS despite it's not yet released as v.1 (like Lazarus). It's code is neat, it's OOP is good (in fact IMO it's closer to object pascal), it's widget collection is quite complete, it's theming is easy and can be done through code, and it's development is pretty active. I'm about to working on it after ExtPascal is done with ExtJS v.3.0. jQuery doesn't have widgets as much as ExtJS or qooxdoo, CMIIW. jQuery development, because its popularity, scattered through out plugins. Sometimes we got inconsistency look and behavior of their widgets because it's developed by different and uncoordinated people. > for those who want to know how it looks like: > http://menora.cnoc.nl/extern/jquery/fpcjquery.psp Nice! BTW, it's funny people keep using .psp extension for pascal web applications (pascal server page?). I also use .psp extension! :D -- -Bee- has Bee.ography at: http://beeography.wordpress.com -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
