Should PHP frameworks generate JavaScript?

I've noticed that a PHP frameworks; Zend, Cake, and Symfony; seem to either generate JavaScript or allow it to be embedded as a string into the PHP itself. Is this a good idea? From people who've used these frameworks/libraries, what has been your experience working with the Ajax and JavaScript helpers? Has it been easy to maintain? Does...

Encapsulation in the age of frameworks

At my old C++ job, we always took great care in encapsulating member variables, and only exposing them as properties when absolutely necessary. We'd have really specific constructors that made sure you fully constructed the object before using it. These days, with ORM frameworks, dependency-injection, serialization, etc., it seems like...

Advice on converting a design-by-accretion Flex project to Mate

We have an internal Flex application which has been designed more through feature creep than by any kind of clear vision.

It was initially my fi...

I cannot find a list describing all of the different options for video capture in Windows.

Is there a .Net attribute to prevent property evaluation within the debugger?

I've seen several classes in the framework with this behavior (a refresh symbol in the watch window, and a warning). Is this controlled by an Attribute? If so, how can I emulate this in my library?

Is there a point where cost of refactoring outweighs the cost of re-writing?

We have some really shocking code touted as a next generation framework at my current place of employment. Thing is, there is only one person of this opinion and that is the guy who wrote most of it. The rest of the department are of the impression it is badly coded, a pita to debug and just a bit naff in general. The guy that wrote it...

Validation Framework in Java

We are currently in the process of refactoring our plugin API**(JDK 1.4 compliant)** which is shipped to our clients in the form of a jar file(ie, no need to have javascripts to be generated and so forth). This is a very lightweight plugin so that we have kept away as many dependent jars as possible like Spring. During this process we st...
