Hi guys, I was looking into how Active Widgets (http://www.activewidgets.com) looks like and came up with an idea, actually it is like another way of using AW for writing own webware applications. For me used to AJAX platform languages like Backbase and Flex, I prefer to write my application in XML like language, where final "application" getting rendered on-fly to browser as XHTML for example. So instead writing tons of JavaScript I just do, for example: <gf:list id="">
<gf:listitem>Item #1</gf:listitem>
<gf:listitem icon="favorites">Item #2 (with icon)</gf:listitem>
</gf:list>
Lollygag is the framework for building AJAX applications with the .NET Framework. It has a number of features that make it better than Microsoft Atlas (Read a detailed comparison) . Lollygag is a free framework for building "true" AJAX applications. You can take advantage of the Lollygag framework to build highly interactive, database-driven, Web applications. Here are some of the key features of the Lollygag framework: - Powerful Widget Framework
The Lollygag framework includes a rich set of client-side widgets that you can use to display database data, perform form validation, and create rich animations. You declare widgets in a page in exactly the same way as you declare HTML tags. - Autocomplete Support
When you declare Lollygag widgets in a page, you get full autocomplete support while you type. To get autocomplete support, you must use an XML aware development environment such as Microsoft Visual Studio .NET. - Declarative Database Access
Accessing database data with the Lollygag framework is easy. You can bind client-side widgets directly to data exposed by a database or you can bind widgets to data exposed by a business object. - Secure Form Validation
When taking advantage of the Lollygag framework, you specify how a form field is validated only once. The validation is automatically applied on both the server and the client. Unlike other frameworks that only provide validation on the client, the Lollygag framework prevents malicious users from bypassing client-side validation and submitting data directly to the server. - Rich Animation Framework
Lollygag includes an entire animation framework. You can take advantage of animations to create different effects such as fades and wipes. - Cross-Browser Support
The full Lollygag framework works on the latest versions of Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, and Opera. - Automatic JavaScript Compression
The Lollygag framework compresses all JavaScript sent to the browser automatically. Any custom JavaScript code that you write as a developer is also compressed automatically. - Powered by .NET
The server-side portion of Lollygag is built on the Microsoft .NET 2.0 Framework. You can build server-side business objects using standard .NET languages such as C# and VB.NET. Lollygag client-side widgets can consume data exposed through server-side objects. - Free
The Lollygag framework is free. You can download the framework and start using it to build new applications right now.
{ Skitsanos Notes} Basically you can consider as quite good and free alternative for frameworks like Backbase and Adobe Flex, for the moment you don't have all these cool UI Widgets, but Lollygag is quite simple to extend. At least for me as a developer of all sorts of development tools and components this framework seems very promising. Only part is missing in Lollygag as i can see at this moment is XmldPlugin.NET part that renders XML application markup into regular HTML or whatever else format...
Berkeley DB XML 2.3 is new release with significant new features, bug fixes, and performance improvements.
1. Performance
- an improved node storage format
- enhancements to the query optimizer and execution engine
- support for multi-version concurrency control document containers
2. XQuery implementation is compliant with the Proposed Recommendation from the W3C 3. Improved integration with various languages and externalXML parsers This release of Berkeley DB XML improves many aspects of query planning and execution. Using indexed node storage, users will generally experience significant speed increase. A new event-style layer allows for tight coupling between Berkeley DB XML and other XML processing code. This greatly enhances integration with programming languages and XML parsing libraries by eliminating the need to create and then re-parse XML content. The W3C XQuery 1.0 specification is nearing completion and this release of Berkeley DB XML is compliant with the current Proposed Recommendation. Berkeley DB XML is an excellent solution for mid-to-edge tier as well as device resident XML storage and management providing sophisticated database features in an embeddable solution.
