Morfik: For Developing Ajax Web Applications by africanboy(m): 2:52pm On May 25, 2006 |
Because of the noise in Nigeria about the two major web development languages - namely ASP and PHP, many of us have been blinded to the fact that there are other technologies that can be utilised for development. I came across Morfik a couple of months ago, and they just released a demo of the program. If you have a Gmail account, I am sure you must be impressed by the [Ajax] interface. All I can say is that this application [morfik] allows you to build apps with similar interfaces. They even include a sample emulating the Gmail interface. Worth checking out guys! www.morfik.com |

Hello, While Ajax can be used to develop software, it still requires a server to process the requests. Contrary to your opinion, a lot of people have already started using Ajax with PHP, JSP and Asp.NET. I started using Ajax in January and I discovered that almost everyone uses Ajax in one way or the other. Ajax is basically using Javascript to send requests to the server and updating sections of a page based on it. It will take some time, however, before people get used to the true web application instead of the popular page-based navigation. |

As we probably know, AJAX is not a technology, but a fusion of existing technologies. Existing scripting languages can be used to develop AJAX based applications, but it is "difficult". Imagine having to write 2000 lines of code for a simple login page. Definitely not interesting, but Morfik proposes a "drag-and-drop" approach with minimal coding to enable developers build Rich Internet Applications in the shortest time possible. A review on their site (I think in one of the manuals) stated that a clone of the Gmail Webmail interface was built by two developers in two months. I have downloaded the beta and tried it out, and truly it is impressive. I am definitely going to purchase a purchase a full version when it is out. If I can build a web based application and deploy on our intranet, ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- prodgalson: A lot of developers in Nigeria are not even aware of AJAX ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Zahymaka: Morfik comes with an embedded Apache Server and Firebird Database engine that can be embedded in your projects. You can also use a Server and Database Technology of your choice. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Right now, am going ahead to learn Morfik Basic and Morfik Pascal. (others can learn Morfik Java and Morfik C#) |

I hope you don't mind if I make a few suggestions. Ajax stands for [b]A[/b]synchronous [b]Ja[/b]vascript and [b]Xml[/b]HttpRequest. Basically, you use the XmlHttpRequest object to send POST or GET data to a server of your choice and parse the returned results. Morfik sounds like a good choice if you want to deploy on a system you have access to, but if you need to run an Ajax application developed with Morfix off a web host, it's going to be quite tough except you purchase a dedicated server. There's really nothing special about Ajax. You send a request, onloading, you parse the returned XML and update the DOM nodes on your page. I have a demo of an Ajax application I'm working on [I haven't updated the web version yet] at http://demos.zatechcorp.com/mtn/. It was developed using PHP but you're always free to make your choices. My point is, Ajax is not a language. Please don't be offended if my evangelism is too strong. |

tundeajiba: for some funny reason, reading about tibco, it does not interest me. i still prefer www.activewidgets.com and zpsuite, then i will do manual coding |
Re: Morfik: For Developing Ajax Web Applications by timmy(m): 11:02pm On May 26, 2006 |

You should definately check out the Spry Framework from Adobe: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/ |

for some funny reason, reading about tibco, it does not interest me. i still prefer www.activewidgets.com and zpsuite, then i will do manual coding I check the url for activewidgets, I came to two conclusions: 1. u seem not to understand the difference between, Ajax, widgets, and superb IDE for writing AJAX. 2. u seems to favour morfik for whatever reason before even checking tibco. Tibco is an excellent IDE for writing AJAX base application while the ide itself was developed using AJAX. |

Me think python is rocking pretty well - writing codes are so easy and straightforward, I prefer it to java |
