Is there any tool that enables you to "hot swap" JavaScript contents while executing a webpage? I am looking for something similar to what HotSpot does for Java, a way to "hot deploy" new JS code without having to reload the whole page. Is there anything like that out there? Clarifying in case people don't understand "hot swap", as i...
I would like to use an ajax toolkit/framework like ZK (www.zkoss.org) or GWT. But I don't know whether it's possible to bundle resources in a JAR? Do you know which one support such resource loading? ...
For work I have to code with an external company's API to deal with their proprietary database solution. Unfortunately the documentation they provide is more of an example guide then proper API docs, so it is very light on nitty gritty details like error codes, method returns, and exceptions. So for instance, a class will have a .GetEr...
Here's my new project: an open canvas, right in front of me. In a few days, I will start to code a big web application. It will start small, with few modules, only myself as developer and engineer, but hopefully it will grow and grow. Even though I am an active Java Developer, It's been a while since I last created a Web Application fro...

I'd like to create some small websites using PHP as the programming language. I've looked at several frameworks but they all appear to be rather large and am not sure how well they will run in a shared hosting environment. I was wondering if anyone knew of frameworks that work well in shared hosting? I'm looking for something with MVC an...
I'm starting a web application that will target Mobile Safari on iPhone/iPod Touch. I'm evaluating the available client-side JavaScript/CSS libraries/frameworks that are currently out there. These are the ones I'm currenlty aware of: iUI CiUI UiUIKit WebApp.Net iWebKit Apple's Dashcode Application - not really a standalone library/fr...
There are several very high quality web frameworks out there today, and everyone seems to be able to find one that becomes their favorite. Then, they have nothing but good things to say about the framework in question, and they relate their personal experiences on how the framework has made web development more enjoyable for them. That'...
I’ve been using a jQuery to do the whole ajax magic in my web based applications. But I came to a decision that I don’t need all these amazing features jQuery has, except its ajax functions (like $.ajax(), $.get(), $.post, getJSON() and load();). Can you recommend a lightweight crossbrowser ajax library/framework (upto ~10 kb)? Thanks ...
There are a number of great and not so-great Javascript GUI frameworks out there. I've looked at some (only superficially). And I can't make my mind about any of them Scroll to the end of this question to see what others say Ext.js The obvious choice by many since it's one of the most known frameworks. Advantages: Looks awesome, large...
I've got a somewhat primitive framework I've been using for most of my projects, but a general design issue came to mind that I haven't been able to work out yet. For a given application, should I separate the application-specific class structure from the framework's structure, or is buliding on top of the framework not such a bad thing?...
I have two models. We'll call them object A and object B. Their design looks something like this: class Foo(models.Model): name = models.CharField() class Bar(models.Model): title = models.CharField() Foo= models.ForeignKey('myapp.Foo') Now, suppose I want to make a method within Foo that returns all Bar objects that r...

Summary: Can I program a "thick client" game in C without reinventing wheels, or should I just bite the bullet and use some library or SDK? I'm a moderate C programmer and am not afraid to work with pointers, data structures, memory locations, etc. if it will give me the control I need to make a great "thick-client" ...
In a MVC application, what are some of the components that make up the application. What tools and functionality is missing that you would like to have. Regardless of the server-side language, what would you want? I see a lot in my code where I code some much functionality that it seems should already be there. I looked at Google web...
I'm looking at a new project and we are wanting to use Flex (to provide the easy integration with AIR and provide a desktop app for our project). How easy does CakePHP play with Flex or is there a better PHP framework to use with Flex, or should we use none? ...
What's the best mocking framework syntax-wise and capability-wise ? My problem: Most mocking frameworks use lambda expressions now, which are really ugly to write in VB.NET, so is there any framework that has nice syntax without lambdas or has fluent syntax that doesn't need lambdas? ...
Dear stack overflow community, I've been given the task of overhauling a couple of websites for a large corporation I'm working for, as well as developing an internal intranet site for content management and document storage within the organization. My "problem" is this: They want me to use a framework/set of languages/technologies tha...
In another question I asked if mutation-testing is useful in practice. As I didn't get any answers that satisfy me, I want to check the current tools myself. So I need an overview about current existing mutation-test-frameworks. Which of them are most usable and why? I program in Java, so I would prefer Java-tools, but I would risk a l...
