Microsoft recently announced that they were endorsing jQuery as an "officially" supported JavaScript library. I certainly wouldn't argue that jQuery is a fantastic framework to work with. In fact, I just bought the book. But I'm curious to know why. Specifically, I'm interested to know whether or not we web developers can expect jQue...
Has anybody used the ATK Framework? It is claimed to be geared toward developing apps for business use. Manipulating data, knowledge bases, etc... This is what I primarily develop (on the side-for my own use). The site hasn't given me a great overview of why it may be better than other frameworks. What are your thoughts / experienc...
I got ahead of myself and downloaded and installed the OSX Python 2.6 package from www.python.org/download/ on my OSX 10.5.5 Intel Mac and installed the full package contents. Only after this did I come across http://wiki.python.org/moin/MacPython/Leopard stating that you should do a partial install of the package to avoid interfering wi...
I'm a complete beginner when it comes to programming. I'm taking a stab at PHP, and have seen how powerful the frameworks can be. But should I even consider trying to work with a framework until I have a strong grasp of PHP itself? Note: I'd most likely be using CodeIgnitor, but the question applies to any of the frameworks. ...
can any one provide the guidlines to use framework concept while progamming ...
I recently posted a question about Azure... is it really an OS? I understand the technical details, and I got a lot of fuzzy answers... I really want to know... what do you think is the difference between an OS and a Framework? Just for reference, Azure will be built on top of Hyper-V servers and the virtual machines will be running va...
We are developing in an embedded type environment and find ourselves needing to create our own UI framework. I have done this before, but I am interested in doing a little bit of research around common design patterns for frameworks. Types of things that I am thinking of as patterns (somewhat far reaching): Widget Focus / defocus Wi...
Are there any good JavaScript frameworks out there which primary audience is not web programming? Especially frameworks/libraries which improves the object orientation? The framework should be usable within an desktop application embedding a JavaScript engine (such as Spidermonkey or JavaScriptCore), so no external dependency are allowed...
Can someone illustrate what really is the difference between the two? ...
I'm currently trying to implement a marble maze game for a WM 5.0 device and have been struggling with developing a working prototype. The prototype would need the user to control the ball using the directional keys and display realistic acceleration and friction. I was wondering if anyone has experience with this and can give me some ...
I am developing a website using CodeIgniter and PHP. Some of my friends suggest I start using Subversion to take care of my organization. Could someone give me a basic explanation of what SVN is without the jargon and also if it is practical for a framework where 5 files are needed to run a single page? ...

Does anyone have real-world experience of ZK that they can pass on? The marketing blurb on their web site makes it all sound too good to be true. Any issues with performance, browser compatibility, tooling, widget availability, etc? ...
I came across the Adobe Flex framework one day. After watching http://www.adobe.com/products/flex/media/flexapp/'> the demo of Flex, it looks to me it is a bundle of different Ajax controls. I have no working knowledge of Flex at all and know very little about Flex. Therefore, I would like to hear from the developers here with some F...

I started using PHP for creating online database driven applications in 1998. Back then, PHP 3 was the state of the art for web development. In the following years I've written a whole bunch of applications and a self-tailored framework for content management and document archiving (which I'm sure is ridiculous compared to solutions that...
I'm curious if through AIR you could access your motherboard pc speaker? It's for an Alarm Type of program and would like pitch control so more than a simple beep. Can this be accomplished through AIR? Or if not in any web-based framework for that matter? Seems a bit tricky so I'd love to know if anyone has a solution. Thanks! ...
I am writing a web-framework for Python, of which the goal is to be as "small" as possible (currently under 100 lines of code).. You can see the current code on github Basically it's written to be as simple to use as possible. An example "Hello World" like site: from pyerweb import GET, runner @GET("/") def index(): return "<stron...
I've been having an agruement with a friend that Mason (Perl) is not a framework, but a templating language. I feel Mason for Perl does what JSP does for Java (as an analogy, not pure technical comparison). From what I know, JSP is not a framework and I feel neither is Mason. When I looked up wikipedia Mason (Perl), I see that the main s...
