Re: Sencha Touch

Hi Arron;

Design - sorry no. I can play Bass, I can cook, I can dish - but design .. no - This is the guys in our "creative department" - we are trying to make wall-2-wall solutions now :)


You were searcning for the server side stuff. I have to disappoint you the isn't any yet. It will however be tiny ajax request to an IceBreak RPG RESt-service.

What you see actually illustrates how we have tried to reinvent the wheel for application design ( or new vine on old bottles some will say):

First we make the userinterface ( The HTML5 I had posted in the thread).

When the custommer is happy - then we code the backend. It totally fits the bill with our Model View Control design based on customer use-cases.

Typical RPG development will mix the View, Controler and datamodel. But by forcing you to take this approach you can keep the MVC as clean as possible.


Best regards

Wow, that is a really sharp looking app Niels! Must have had a
creative developer help with that, or do you have those talents also
:-)

Where does the server side stuff come into play, or isn't it
implemented yet? I was looking for it but didn't see it. I am also
liking how these latest js frameworks are allowing and focusing on
configuring "screens" and all we need to do is show/hide them and
occupy them with information. Soooo much easier than the traditional
CGIDEV2 I grew up on - at least in my opinion.

Exciting times!

Hi Aaron;

You know HTML5 is just like sex in high school: every body talks about it, but only a few do something about it :)

However, we are working on a presentation app for a medical company. We are using the iPad for the presentation and IceBreak for server stuff.

jqTouch is very transparent. You can use it with out really seeing it in you html code. So you get cool animation features simply by using the class tag in HTML like:

<a class="swap" href="#home" style="position:absolute;left:970px;top:497px;height:150px;width:50px;"></a>

If you click this anchor the webkit animation "swap" will kick in - it looks so cool. No need for "flash" or any plugins.

But the primary reason I think JQT is cool - is the way you can have many "screens" or screen components in the same html simply by a "div" tag. You just mark your main page with class="current" - other "div"s will be hidden. It is just like a good old display file :)

<div id="home" class="current">

The following code contains a small menu with four options. Each option has one ore more "sub" panels - and that is all whats required. Not much "J" to see, but it really works.

You need a webkit based browser before you can use it. iPad or just plain safari will do the trick
