Frameworks, the final decision

We started a new cool project the other week. The function itself might not be extremely sexy but we have an modern and bold client on this project so we were able to sell in some cool client side features for the first time in ages. (My memory lasts somewhere between a month and the latest project).I have posted numerous times about why it’s good with [tags]JavaScript[/tags] [tags]framework[/tags]s and I have spent a lot of time reading and learning the various frameworks that are mature enough these days and find out that the Yahoo User Interface ([tags]YUI![/tags]) fits best for now. So we started to use the YUI! for some time and suddenly I ran across YUI-EXT which is awsome. It’s not only very functional, it’s coded in a way that even I with only 15 years programming experience can understand and follow what’s going on. Feel free to compare with prototype.js for example.

Anyway, after spending some days with YUI-EXT, which by the way is undergoing a namechange to only Ext now, I found a few other domino freaks out on the Ext boards. By following some links I found that there are atleast three different domino web projects around today. All of them are mentioned in CodeStores post over here, read the comments. I should have seen this earlier but due to some changed attitude at my job I simply can’t follow the scene that much anymore. Spending some time today I also learned that Eli Harris (Does he blog?) and Rich Waters has started a project that will develop a javascript framework for domino. I will follow this project closely and I wish them all good. Unfortunately I currently can’t contribute to this project for now, but that I might change.
