I want to build a Web App with Rails.... What to use for the Client Layer?
Hello, I''m building a web app that I want to have a feel like GMAIL. I have Rails 3 setup for all the backend, restful type services... But I want it to be a web app and not a web page. What are some client- side type frameworks I should be thinking of? not like a JQUERY but more like a sproutcore? Is there anything type of framework Rails developers use to have slick Web APps, so clicking links does not reload the entire page, etc.. etc...

Sproutcore seems very nice, but is overkill for most of my projects. -- Greg Donald destiney.com | gregdonald.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

the only thing prebuild that i have seen that do that , no one uses them in the public part of their site, only in the admin section check a gem called active_scaffold but i think you cant customize it much -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I suppose you''re not allowed to use Flash/Flex? For non-Flash, moderately rich UI, I''m pretty happy with some of the YUI (Yahoo User Interface) widgets and libraries. You might also consider GWT. If you know that you''re building a big fat (rich) client, it might be worth having a comprehensive IDE with debugging goodness that GWT offers. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
