jMaki at Mashup Camp Report
Thursday (Jul 19) is the last day of
Mashup Camp.
Greg gave a
jMaki session on Monday and today
Carla helped staff the
tabletop and I participated in
Speed Geeking. This was my first experience and lot of fun to give a
5-minute pitch to bunch of participants. Here is the 5-minute pitch that I
presented:
- jMaki is a lightweight framework to create Ajax-enabled Web 2.0
applications.
- jMaki - "j" stands for JavaScript and "Maki" is to wrap in Japanese (as
in Sushi).
- Toolkits: It allows to create native widgets and provide wrappers
over widgets from multiple toolkits such as Yahoo, Dojo, Script.aculo.us and
others.
- Platform: jMaki widgets can be embedded in Java Server Pages (JSP),
Java Server Faces (JSF), Phobos,
PHP and Ruby-on-Rails
applications.
- Tools: jMaki-enabled applications can be easily created using
NetBeans IDE, Eclipse and Ant-based command-line tasks.
- The biggest benefit of jMaki is that it provides
standard
data models allowing developers to seamlessly change the underlying
toolkits (for a better look-and-feel) and also shields developers from
changes in data models in future version of these toolkits.
- jMaki allows to create powerful
mashups easily. Some of the powerful mashups that can be created are
described here.
Stay tuned for detailed blog entries and screencasts showing how to create
them.
