I need someone that can explain to me what is Epsilon Framework is all about? I have a friend that just purchased two mobile tempalates at ThemeForest site which is Clean Mobile and Glovebox theme.
So then when i studied his source code, i realize the title on the html page says "Epsilon Framework 2.0" and the script src use the something like "framework.plugins.js". It may be weird but i like the templates has been designed especially for mobile. However, when i search for this framework in google, i don't find any homepage about it and all i found only the demo of this plugin and some non-related stuff.
Therefore, can someone tells me what is this framework really is? The code looks clean and i really want to learn it if possible. If someone ever used these sort of plugins, can you tell me where can i find the docs and is it an open source?
Here's the link towards that mobile template i talked about.
Clean Mobile
GloveBox 3D
Thank you.
I am writing an BlackBerry app and I need to scrape about 50+ websites for data.
Does anyone know of any good client-side solutions that I can use ? I dont want to build a backend just for this.
I actually wrote a blog posting about this a while back. The example uses screen-scraper, but the principles would apply regardless of what you decide to use for your scraping solution. I deliberately wrote the posting to be relatively agnostic toward specific technologies, so it it will at least hopefully give you a few ideas.
I'm pretty much totally lost.. I've posted twice on the smartclient forums and gotten no help so maybe the people here are more friendly than their own staff. (it really bothers me but they appear to have the best software for what I'm trying to do)
I'm trying to wrap my head around how I would get one of their examples (the demo showcase ones which I have downloaded etc) on my web host, just to see how it works/play with it, but I couldn't find any forum guides or videos etc on this (documentation is really abysmal for people that don't speak code yet).
Is there some special back-end I need on my web host? Where can I go to figure out how to link the stuff together? Do I have to compile something using java.. etc.
I'm used to just editing stuff in notepad++, uploading it, and hitting refresh, but I'm guessing smartclient isn't that simple, or is it? (I'm just going to use it to make tables from excel spreadsheets that I can filter through, that's it, no fancy application).
Sincerely,
Mr. Totally Lost.
Everything is covered by the guide (page 6) : http://www.smartclient.com/docs/8.2/docs/SmartClient_Quick_Start_Guide.pdf
SmartClient embed everything needed, you will only need a valid JDK installation and the zip provided in their website.
Ext JS is a nice framework for web UI, but I found that building and putting stuff together takes a long time and painfully slow.
This might be a general problem when working with JavaScript, but does anybody have any way to speed things up?
What can I use? Better IDE with good JavaScript suppport? GUI designers? Code generators?
I need some way to speed up common things like building grids and forms but yet let me do complex things like creating custom components easily.
I'm using ASP.NET MVC. Coolite seems nice at first, but I feel that I'll be having trouble when creating any custom components later on.
There's always Ext GWT, which lets you use Eclipse tooling (and all of the advantages that gives you, such as refactoring, swift code navigation, etc.) to create your Ext/JavaScript app.
When you download the ExtJs library, you find lot of sample applications for common requirements like Grid panel, forms, form elements etc.
Regarding IDEs, you dont find mature productive tools, but check the below link and wish it could be of help to you
http://www.extjs.com/blog/2008/02/01/ides-plugins-and-tools-for-ext-js-20/
But if you really wish to develop custom components, you need to get through knowledge,start approaching with ExtJs-provided sample apps.
If you want to get faster at anything, practice it until you fully understand how it works and how to make it do what you want. If you are just starting out, why would expect to be able to work as quickly as you do when you are working on something that you are very familiar with?
Things I use to make ExtJS less painful
Chrome, for it's developer tools, or Firefox with Firebug.
snipMate: snippets for Vim, so I can quickly produce boiler plate code for classes.
JSLint as a command line tool. Especially good for detecting rogue commas.
Sencha forums.
ExtJS IRC chat (Server: irc.freenode.net Room: #extjs).
API documentation.
Sencha and Saki's ExtJS examples.

ExtJS is building a designer right know so you can look forward it, the only problem I think is not gonna be free.
you can see a video demo there, in term of release date I think this is due to the first quarter of this year.
I say learn the framework. But to develop apps, I use IntelliJ IDEA, which has partial code completion, etc. It costs money though.
Once you have some practice and understanding of how ExtJS works, you'll get faster at it. By using the examples for reference, and building up my application in small pieces, I've gotten much better (and faster) at developing stuff with ExtJS. A great way to get started is to find an example (or two) that kind of do what you need, and modify (or combine) them to see how they work together.
I'm trying to link all this technologies, but there are many isolated examples and I do not have enough experience to link them together
so my questions:
Whether there is a similar example?
Is it possible to use UIBinder with Gin?
Any recommendations to implement it?
The GWT blueprint that we use and works great for us.

My own project is in an early phase, but it has all these technologies. You may want to take a look:
http://code.google.com/p/puzzlebazar/
Unfortunately, I don't know of such tutorials (a possible solution would be to get a book on GWT, but I don't know if there are any that deal with GWT 2.0 and Gin) - I'm afraid it's up to you to patch the knowledge from them together, that's what everyone has to do, right? ;) If you have some specific problems feel free to post a question about it, then we could help.
As for the UiBinder + Gin issue - I'm using both technologies and it's a breeze, but that's mainly because I'm also following the MVP (Model View Presenter) architecture/model - that way the view doesn't really has any dependencies and the Presenter does all the work. More on that here: http://code.google.com/events/io/2009/sessions/GoogleWebToolkitBestPractices.html
Here is a nice tutorial. The app is very simple but demonstrates all the basics you need.
