what is the nexus web ui built with?

[Stephen Legge-2]

Hi,

 

A friend just showed me Nexus and it's one of the nicest looking web UIs I've ever seen.

 

Can someone tell me what AJAX technologies or widget tools kits the UI was built with? 

 

Is there a design document somewhere that provides an overview of the app's design?

 

Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!

Hi there,

There is no doco with architecture, but in short:

Nexus server side does not use any "view" techs at all, it simply
publishes REST API
We are using restlet.org for that: http://www.restlet.org/

The UI is -- you may say so -- a standalone Nexus client application
written in JavaScript, that uses REST calls to get the content to
present.
On client side, we use ExtJS: http://extjs.com/
(With some customizations)

Naturally, this means that your webapp is "blind" alone, but you can
(theoretically) have as much UIs and other clients for it as you like
(like integration with other systems, either by having dedicated
client app or even by simple python/ruby/... scripting). Another
interesting direction would be to use REST-enabled GWT. Thus said,
restlet.org does provide out of the box rest support for GWT. ExtJS
provides GXT (ExtJS + GWT)... so, almost endless possibilities....

That's all in short :)

Hope helps,
~t~
