Hello to all
I am about to start designing and implementing a portal application using Cocoon.
In order to do so, I just finished the "Cocoon: Building XML Applications" book.
The book offer's you some "best practices" and methodology which gives me the feeling I am ready to start and design my application.
Now - I imagine some things have change since the book was published. I wouldn't want to design the application, just to figure out then that my chosen methods are long over-due.
I was thinking that maybe, just maybe - some of you had already gone through that phase, read the book, collected the missing/outdated data, and can hand me a list of items that I should go through before start my design….
It all depends on what your application is. The book describes Cocoon 2.0, and although everything you will find there is still available in the current version, a lot of new features have appeared in the area of web application development (compared to publication).
Among all changes, the most noticeable ones that may heavily influence on application design:
- flowscript, that makes it really easy to setup complect interactions (i.e. guiding the user through successive pages)
- Cocoon Forms, a powerful form handling framework, that kicks ass when combined with flowscript
- a complete rewrite of the portal framework
