woodstock featured on netbeans.org
Project Woodstock has been given a mention on netbeans.org front page news.
For those new, woodstock happens to be the next generation set of components that are now a part of Visual Web Pack development kit in netbeans.
Here is an excerpt:
The Project Woodstock components, the latest generation of web
components, capitalize on those years of experience. Plus, the
components are open sourced. The Project Woodstock components have many
new features, and especially focus on client-side processing. Here's
what this mean for developers:
- A better user experience. The Project
Woodstock components do as much processing as possible in the user’s
browser. By doing so, they keep to a minimum requests sent across the
wire to a web server. This makes the web page user experience much
richer, as well as faster and more pleasant. - Easy access to client-side processing. The Project Woodstock components include an API that makes client-side processing available to other developers.
- Dynamic AJAX behavior.
One of the most exciting additions to the Project Woodstock components
is AJAX dynamic behavior. Project Woodstock takes many of the Visual
Web components, such as Textfield, and makes them AJAX enabled. It
implements this AJAX behavior via JavaServer Faces Dynamic Faces, or
Dyna-Faces.
