Javascript + MVC + UI

Question

Hey!

I'm looking for fresh ways of programming in javascript. My goal is to create javascript application like GMail. I tried GWT but it seams so complicated and the code isn't stylish.

I found MVC patteren to be a good way of programming. I always have problems organizing the code in javascript. When I use CakePHP or RoR, everything is simpel :).

I'm looking for a javascript framework that would support MVC way of programming and would have good widgets like Adobe Spry Framework. What frameworks should I use? Thx!

Answer 1

A List Apart has an article about JavaScript MVC. I don't think you should necessarily use a framework, unless you're already familiar with one.

That article also points out to some MVC frameworks:

• JavaScriptMVC
• SproutCore
• TrimJunction
