Re: Rialto Browser UI framework

Aaron

I know only a little, so here comes my opinions and questions. :-) There is jQuery UI that has some of the widgets. After that are lots of plugins - no need to write your own. Do those cover your need for widgets?

Of course, YMMV with all the various manifestations of scrolling galleries and all - not all are worth using.

Hi Vern,

jQuery seems to be good if you are just looking for plumbing, but I am also
looking for a solid set of UI widgets so I don't have to develop those from
the ground up. Dojo is starting to make more progress on that front.

Hi Aaron

It seems you can spend a lot of time looking for the perfect framework,
or settle on something more generic like jQuery and then spend all your
time looking for the perfect gallery or grid or whatever. ;-)

The chart you referred to that compares various frameworks, well, it
seems that jQuery has a lot of things covered, as does Dojo and a couple
others. One does end up, based on my limited experience, doing maybe a
little more work with some of these. But the plugins for jQuery can give
us so much.

I think we are using jQuery quite a bit here - the green-haired kid
prefers it, at least up to now.

Thoughts from the peanut gallery!

Hi all,

I am looking for alternatives to ExtJS, because of the licensing
complications, and have found Rialto:
http://rialto.improve-technologies.com/wiki/

Rialto is released under the Apache license:
http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.html

It has an approach similar to ExtJS in that you configure ui widgets and

add

them to a form or grid or etc.

One issue I see is that it isn't as popular as I'd hoped (see the support
link and look at the amount of emails on the Yahoo forum)

Thoughts?
