Example app that's also been implemented in SproutCore and RestfulX

[Bruz Marzolf]

For those new to Cappuccino, and particularly those comparing it with
other frameworks, I've just finished implementing a trivial
application in Cappuccino that I've also implemented with SproutCore
and RestfulX. I have a brief post on it over at
http://blog.bruzilla.com/post/317178477/cappuccino-client-side-web-application-frameworks,
and the source is over at http://github.com/bruz/clocky-frontend-cappuccino.

I'm sure my implementation could be improved given my lack of
Cappuccino knowledge, so any feedback is welcome.

This is good to have. I tried running the code, but the server side portion doesn't want to work for me (i.e. I can't add a new project).

A couple things you might want to check out is the date picker in LPKit, and the documentation on autoresizing masks. Specifically, you might want to set a CPViewHeightSizable flag on the text area widget so that when a window isn't tall enough it will shrink to fit.

Odd. A fresh checkout of the code on my development laptop works
great, but when I try it on my home computer and am getting
nondescript HTTP 500 errors on the back end. I'll have to investigate
this a bit further.

Thanks for the pointer toward LPKit, that looks like a great set of
add-ons for Cappuccino. I was being lazy in my first pass and skipped
the autoresizing masks, but should incorporate those since they seem
to be a rather important part of UI in Cappuccino.

Of course, the other thing you might consider is building the UI in nib2cib or in Atlas, which would help eliminate the need for a fair amount of code.

Assuming the backend error I was able to reproduce is the same one you
ran into, the problem was with using an old version of the mongrel
gem. Updating to mongrel 1.1.5 should fix the problem. I've made a
note in the README of this dependency.

Atlas and the nib2cib route are intriguing and I will probably use one
of these with any future projects, but for now I've just manually set
up the the autoresizing masks so this app behaves properly.
