Re: Single Page Web Web Apps -- WEB400

I must be being stupid, because your point is still completely lost on me. I don't know how one would talk about ExtJS (which is a feature rich UI library with model based functionality built in) in the same context as dedicated MVC-type frameworks with a tiny footprint (like ember.js, backbone.js and knockout.js).

Either you are using an MVC framework or you aren't - but if you are, I still don't understand where the "lots of extra typing and chances for things to get out of sync structurally" comes into play?

That said - the point is moot I guess. It is proving very useful and efficient for us to use something that allows updates to a model to be automatically reflected in the UI (and vice versa) without bloating the JavaScript with bespoke code per function. Not everyone will see this as a good thing for their own solutions.

ExtJS. Basically I won't want to have to redefine my columns to any extent in json stores except for mapping them to a column.

you have to keep recreating model structures? Perhaps more to the
point, which model framework has caused you to do so?

To be honest I would be surprised to see any app these days that

use

it,

Knockout looks similar to ember by the looks of it.

of course).

Renaissance 6.0 makes use of requirejs (http://requirejs.org/)

Has anyone adopted this style of developing tight web apps ?

Seems like there is a new js framework called knockout that can
be

used

for this.

jQueryMobile supports something similar.
