Matt Raible is choosing as Ajax framework for a SOFEA style application

[Peter Svensson]

Listen, this is kind of cool. Matt Raible, who among other things is lead UI architect at LinkedIn, has a post on selecting an Ajax framework for a SOFEA project. He's basically soliciting responses for the outline of the selection process, but it is still very interesting.

Matt has been cautiously pro SOFEA from the beginning, but has also wanted to hedge his bets, being a commiter for Struts 2, and other related projects. I think it's very strong of him to go out publicly and announce that LinkedIn is doing a project based on SOFEA principles (Even thoug they're not named). Way to go, Matt! :)

Is someone going to give the TSA talk?

I'm proposing a general architecture talk that will be TSA centered but no specific.

OK. I'll send in a proposal.
Thanks for the link, Justin!

I might be too.  We probably should focus on different things.

I was going to focus primarily on the 'hard' parts of large JavaScript apps - testing, organization, the necessity of things like history, etc.

The first cut of a rough description:

Title: Fat is the new thin : Developing the JavaScript Fat Client

Description:

JavaScript Fat clients have emerged providing some of the most inspired applications on the web. Like money, more JavaScript can mean more problems. This session explores solutions to common large-scale JavaScript app problems such as organization, maintainability, integration, testing, documentation and project management. It also discusses common technical solutions such as browser history, event delegation, templates, and simulated classes.

These problems and solutions will be given in the context of a real world application used by millions of people that contains over 200 custom JavaScript files.

I was more brief in my application, but I focused exclusively on TSA/SOFEA and its impact on project lifecycle efficiency. Not specifics, like testing, but positive 'polarization' of team members and better workflow in application development and maintenance.
