Delphi for PHP 2.0

April 18th, 2008 by info

Delphi for PHP 2.0 wad created by Codegerar, you can purchase it at http://www.codegear.com/products/delphi/php, to end of July 2008 it’s for 153 Euro. I thought that I’ve find my favorite Ajax framework - Qooxdoo, but now I think about Delphi for PHP 2.0. Internally it has gooxdoo based components, and Delphi alway has nice visual enviroment. You can alway build forms with only dragging visual components to form canvas. You can always easy set any property. You can build own components. I read that this delphi has integrated debugger for php. So I now confused what choose for my project. Now I download qwt (Qooxdoo Widget Toolkit) http://qooxdoo-contrib.sourceforge.net/downloads/qwt/releases/qwt-0.2.0.zip so I goong now to test it, if it will be suitable for my purpouses i choose it, else I purchase Delphi for php 2.0 or maybe i find another solution. I let you know what I choose on this blog.
P.S You can see video presenting features of Delphi for php 2.0 http://video.codegear.com/pix/NickHodges/DelphiforPHP/New20Features/New20Features.html

I don't apply css, i think it's simple, and you can easy apply css in place of inline styles. This code is exactly code for above rounded green rectangle.

Do I need Qooxdoo?

April 14th, 2008 by info

For my new project i look for a good AJAX framework. Dojo don’t meets my requrments (forms look nice, but in complex forms you can see loading of dojo forms template). So I look for another solutions. On demo page you’ll see some capabilities of this framework. I download it an do some tests now. I need fast framework, i have hope that Qooxdoo is what I need.

Developers of this framework was exhibitors on AJAXWorld Conference & Expo 2008 East at New York, so this framework take my attention.
