Cappuccino – Web Application Framework unter LGPL veröffentlicht
Cappuccino, dass Webframework welches u.a. hinter 280 Slides steckt und als Portierung von Cocoa in JavaScript bezeichnet wird, wurde nun unter LGPL veröffentlicht.
[...] Cappuccino is about building applications, not web pages. When you think about applications, think 280 Slides, or GMail, or Meebo. jQuery, Prototype, and others do a great job of making static web pages a little more interactive, but they weren’t designed for building full fledged applications. Similarly, Cappuccino is not for building web pages; it’s optimized for a completely different set of tasks.
280 Slides is the first app built on Cappuccino, and it’s a great showcase of what’s possible. Cappuccino builds in many of the features you see, like the Document architecture, object copy/paste, global undo and redo, drag and drop, and great graphics support.
Bei Theocacao gibt es einen “First Look at Cappuccino and Objective-J”:
[...] The executive summary is that Cappuccino is re-implementation of many of the basic parts of Cocoa, and Objective-J is a language which looks nearly identical to Objective-C and “compiles down” into JavaScript. You can also use JavaScript right inline with Objective-J, similar to how you can use C in Objective-C. [...]
[...] Xcode and Interface Builder are now reasonable prototyping tools for web apps based on Cappuccino, and Mac programmers can now quickly become very effective client-side web developers. [...]
