Light Javascript framework

I'm trying to create a small Javascript "framework" that I can use in my greasemonkey scripts. I only need very basic functions, so this is why I choose not to use mooTools or DOMAssistant. Besides, I'm not going to be silly and put DOMAssitant in a 20KB Greasemonkey script! I just want a small, neat snippet of code. I have a small prob...

Future of Fusebox framework

Good old Fusebox was my first framework and I still really like it. Started with PHP version, currently using latest CFML version.

Best Django features that do work on Google App Engine?

I'm in the process of starting a new project on App Engine and Brandon's advice made me think. Many features of Django don't work on Google App Engine: the admin interface and the modeling framework for example. Considering that App Engine already has a simple framework built-in ("webapp") and I can freely pick from the many Python te...

What's the best practice for developing a PHP data import framework?

During our work as web developer for a meteorological company, we are faced with the same task over and over again: Get some files from somewhere (FTP/Web/directory/mail) and import the contained data to a database. Of course the file format is never the same, the databases are always designed differently, countless special cases have t...

Types of Java web applications

As someone who's fairly new to Java-based web frameworks (currently learning Stripes), I was curious.. what kinds of web applications are you creating with them? I'm thinking it must be something more complicated than yet another blog engine or photo sharing app. (Or perhaps not?) I could see Stripes, Wicket or maybe Struts 2 being used ...

What's the state of TDD and/or BDD in PHP?

How widespread, supported, developed is testing in the PHP world? On par with Java? Up there with Ruby/Rails?

Do the major PHP IDE's have built-in test runners the way Eclipse's Java tools do or NetBeans's Ruby/Rails tools do? Is testing built i...

Creating a data driven web front end quickly

Over the last few years, I can't count how many web front ends I've had to create over a relatively simple database schema to fasciliate data entry. I have to imagine that someone out there has written a framework I can use to simplify the creation of these kind of simple GUIs. Doing a quick google, the following look like the key playe...

Fully Object Oriented framework in PHP

I want to create a 100% object oriented framework in PHP with no procedural programming at all, and where everything is an object. Much like Java except it will be done in PHP. Any pointers at what features this thing should have, should it use any of the existing design patterns such as MVC? How creating objects for every table in the ...

Does anybody know a useable MVC/MVP framework for enterprise WinForms applications? Before there was User Interface Process Application Block for .NET.

Please recommend a good debug logging framework for ASP.NET with a good viewer.

First of all - I've seen this question, but mine is a bit different. What I need is some framework for logging debug information. This information will NOT be present in production environment.

Is there an open source alternative to Flash for web animation?

I want to make something similar to this, but I'd like to avoid proprietary platforms (flash). I'm relatively new to development and I'm willing to learn anything. I understand that some javascript frameworks like jQuery and MooTools are capable of some animation, but is this beyond their capability? What do you recommend? thanks ...

Java Security Framework

Security always tends to take the last place in a new project. Or you use a framework like Spring where security is already build-in and can be switched on easily. I try to find an open security framework that can be plugged-in to both Swing and Web applications (and JavaFX?), maybe easy to digest. I looked at plain JAAS, JGuard and JSec...

The application has 3 front-end UIs: Windows Forms, ASP.NET, and a Windows Forms app that is installed on tablet PCs. The three front-ends perform different functions ...

Are there any good work-queue-based frameworks?

I've been thinking about writing a web framework (think Struts, Ruby on Rails, Seaside) that is based on the idea of a work queue. I'm looking to see if anyone has done such a framework before. I'm happy to check out frameworks that are for processing requests and spitting back results, but aren't web (HTTP). I'm not looking for a wor...

Why can't we create programs cross-platforms these days?

Hi guys, I just wonder, if all compilers in any language transform the code into the only language "talked" in the computer guts (Machine Code - zeros and ones), why is it so hard to pass .NET windows application into a Mac application? Shouldn't someone come with a brilliant idea (I have no brilliant ideas since I got married 3 years ...

What are the main components/layers of a PHP application?

What are the main components of a PHP application? I've come up with these: 1) Database 2) HTML templates 3) Sessions/Cookies/Authentication 4) User Input ($_GET or $_POST or URL segments) Are these the main components or are there any others? The reason I'm asking this is so I can put each 'Object' in its own class without having ...
