Hey Ruby\Rails users, (like me) I know that Prototype (*cough* "jQuery")is the library of choice for most rails developers. When it comes to enterprise level apps and having an extensive commercially supported library, you cannot beat ExtJS. If you want a great case study, look at SalesForce.com and how they have used ExtJS as their library of choice. When I came across this poll today, I was shocked to see just how low Ruby was voted on (only 40 votes). I don''t post very often on forums, but I could not help but to share this and hope that fellow Rails/Ruby users will support it and vote. Reload this Page Most Popular Server-Side Languages http://extjs.com/forum/showthread.php?t=43322 They have also just happened to (beta) release their new MIT Licensed Ext Core. Which boasts some impressive features and majorly competes with jQuery when looking for a core JS framework for websites. http://extjs.com/blog/2009/04/04/ext-core-30-beta-released/ While I use jQuery for my website front-end, and will be very hard for me to switch. When I think about the success of Ext Core, is that once my customers graduate past a simple website, I know that the full ExtJS 3.0 is waiting for me. No longer do I have to worry about some small 3rd party *jQuery* plug-in to do something my clients require. Gone is the worry that they will update and develop for years their ‘project’ plugin. I can release my projects and be secure in my personal reputation (and ability to support them for many years.)

The concept of having a rich JavaScript client application talking with a RESTful Rails application works very well for back-end applications. I can heartily recommend everyone to try it. SproutCore and Cappuccino are among the alternatives. There''s this little chicken-and-egg problem between Ext JS and Rails where the two have different interpretations of RESTful resources. Nothing that a little customization can''t fix, but following Rails tradition it''d be great if Ext JS was compatible out of the box. -- Roderick van Domburg http://www.nedforce.nl -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

It works... Just find yourself with the Ruby (*shakes head*) "=begins" and "=end". I would say that this is a good "RDoc Alternative" for ruby code (And JavaScript as well.) http://code.google.com/p/ext-doc/ -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
