XML/SWF Charts

XML/SWF Charts: "XML/SWF Charts is a simple, yet powerful tool to create attractive web charts and graphs from dynamic XML data.

Create an XML source to describe a chart, then pass it to this tool's flash file to generate the chart. The XML source can be prepared manually, or generated dynamically using any scripting language (PHP, ASP, CFML, Perl, etc.)

XML/SWF Charts makes the best of both the XML and SWF worlds. XML provides flexible data generation, and Flash provides the best graphic quality."

frameworks

eg drar gjerne på tssjs 2006....

TSSJS BOF: Web Framework Sweet Spots: "The objective of this BOF is to discuss the various open source web frameworks and what each does well. Matt kicks off the discussion by highlighting the good features of various frameworks, (results of pre-conference discussions with various framework authors to get their opinions on what problems their framework solves best) as well as debunk some myths based on audience members real-world experiences.

Yesterday, I sent an e-mail the authors of the most popular web frameworks in JavaLand. In my opinion, these are (in alphabetical order): Cocoon, JSF, RIFE, Seam, Spring MVC, Spring Web Flow, Struts, Trails, Tapestry, WebWork and Wicket."

Spring Web Flow 1.0 EA Released

Spring Web Flow 1.0 EA Released: "SWF allows you to capture logical page flows as self-contained controller modules that are reusable in different situations. The system is ideal for web applications that guide users through controlled interactions that support business processes. These user interactions, or conversations, typically span HTTP requests and may be dynamic and transactional in nature.

As an embeddable page flow and conversational state engine, Spring Web Flow integrates with existing frameworks such as Spring MVC, Spring Portlet MVC, JSF, and Struts."

synest eg såg at Tapestry-støtte også var på planen.

A Metric Leading to Agility (RTF)

bra måte å måla tilstand/ framgang på?

(Running Tested Features)
A Metric Leading to Agility:
definisjon av RTF, innhaldet:

1. "The desired software is broken down into named features (requirements, stories) which are part of what it means to deliver the desired system.
   
2. For each named feature, there are one or more automated acceptance tests which, when they work, will show that the feature in question is implemented.
   
3. The RTF metric shows, at every moment in the project, how many features are passing all their acceptance tests."
   

nok ein def., jf omgrepet:

• "Running means that the features are shipped in a single integrated product.
  
• Tested means that the features are continuously passing tests provided by the requirements givers -- the customers in XP parlance.
  
• Features? We mean real end-user features, pieces of the customer-given requirements, not techno-features like "Install the Database" or "Get Web Server Running"."
  

effekt:

"How does RTF Cause Agility?

• RTF requires feature count to grow from day one. Therefore the team must focus on features, not design or infrastructure.
  
• RTF requires feature count to grow continuously. Therefore the team must integrate early and often.
  
• RTF requires features to be tested by independent tests. Therefore the team has comprehensive contact with a customer.
  
• RTF requires that tests continue to pass. Therefore the tests will be automated.
  
• RTF requires that the curve grow smoothly. Therefore the design will need to be kept clean.
  
• With RTF, more features is better. Therefore, the team will learn how to deliver features in a continuous, improving stream. They'll have to invent agility to do it."

der ajax fekk namnet sitt...

i denne artikkelen vart Ajax skrive for fyrste gong.

adaptive path » ajax: a new approach to web applications: "Ajax isn’t a technology. It’s really several technologies, each flourishing in its own right, coming together in powerful new ways. Ajax incorporates:

* standards-based presentation using XHTML and CSS;
* dynamic display and interaction using the Document Object Model;
* data interchange and manipulation using XML and XSLT;
* asynchronous data retrieval using XMLHttpRequest;
* and JavaScript binding everything together."
