Re: Single Page Web Web Apps

I must be being stupid, because your point is still completely lost on me. I don't know how one would talk about ExtJS (which is a feature rich UI library with model based functionality built in) in the same context as dedicated MVC-type frameworks with a tiny footprint (like ember.js, backbone.js and knockout.js).

Either you are using an MVC framework or you aren't - but if you are, I still don't understand where the "lots of extra typing and chances for things to get out of sync structurally" comes into play?

That said - the point is moot I guess. It is proving very useful and efficient for us to use something that allows updates to a model to be automatically reflected in the UI (and vice versa) without bloating the JavaScript with bespoke code per function. Not everyone will see this as a good thing for their own solutions.

ExtJS. Basically I won't want to have to redefine my columns to any extent in json stores except for mapping them to a column.

you have to keep recreating model structures? Perhaps more to the
point, which model framework has caused you to do so?

To be honest I would be surprised to see any app these days that

use
it,

Knockout looks similar to ember by the looks of it.

Renaissance 6.0 makes use of requirejs (http://requirejs.org/)

Has anyone adopted this style of developing tight web apps ?

Seems like there is a new js framework called knockout that can
be
used
for this.

jQueryMobile supports something similar.
