Sorry for an OT question.
Briefly got out of the black hole of backend development, and into
the much-hyped world of dynamic web UI. Need to make a decision on a
JavaScript toolkit to do various dynamic widgets for a set of web
applications.
A short version of the question: which toolkit? why?
A more long-winded version:
5-6 years ago there was WO and there was JSP/Struts (or EOF vs. EJB,
for another absurd comparison). For a person coming to the market
with no deep knowledge, it was easy to pick the later over the
former, if only because of marketing (or lack of thereof for WO). So
now I'd like to avoid picking "JSP of AJAX" so to speak. So ... is
there a "WO of AJAX" out there? What are the opinions on the popular
and less popular toolkits among the WO community? Dojo, Google, YUI,
anything else? Are they even as much different as WO vs. JSP?
I am looking for an ability to do structured coding (as opposed to
traditional JS spaghetti), a set of reusable widgets, and ease of
integration with Java engines like WO or Tapestry (I know Tapestry
4.1 already bundles Dojo, still wanted to look at other options), ...
Appreciate the insights of the WO community.
Thanks
Andrus
