About the Book

Create Enterprise-grade Rich Internet Applications using the Backbase client framework Key Features Create modular and extensible web applications with the Backbase Client Framework Use XML-based UI components from the extensive Backbase UI library such as tabBox, grid, calendar, comboBox, and toolTip Create your own UI components using the powerful object-oriented Tag Definition Language Use powerful data-binding options to create data-driven applications with detailed data grid examples Book DescriptionBackbase is a very powerful and complex JavaScript library, with many user interface components to help make web development easier. It allows the development of Rich Internet Applications (RIA) that run within all major browsers but its powers and complexity mean that the choice of component can be overwhelming. Understanding when and how to use the right component might not always be straightforward. This book makes that easier. This is a practical book that teaches you how to use the Backbase Client Framework effectively, with a complete overview and many examples. A core developer of the framework puts the technologies used into a wider perspective of existing web standards and a seasoned software architect explains why XML-based UI definition produces better web applications. The transparent use of AJAX technologies, for example to submit forms, or to retrieve updates for data grids, can be taken for granted with the Backbase framework. Packed with examples, the book shows you how to get the most from the library of UI components, and then extend the library with its own custom language. With this book in hand, it is easy to enable AJAX within your web application. You will be able to use the Backbase framework effectively, from basic applications to complex, custom-defined UI components. This book contains a complete overview of all the UI libraries available within the Backbase framework and shows examples for each element described. The Backbase framework offers an innovative Tag Definition Language (TDL), which allows developers to create new UI components that can be used as XML elements, in the same way as using the built-in GUI library. Using TDL brings considerable development advantages, and this book explains how. Significant attention is also given to architectural aspects of designing a web-application, showing sample applications using a model-view-controller approach.What you will learn The benefits of using an XML-based user interface definition An overview of all Backbase libraries, with examples Use of comprehensive sample applications utilizing the Backbase UI libraries How to develop effective client-server (AJAX) communication in an MVC-based client-server architecture What data binding is, what is available in the Backbase framework, and how to use it Performance and deployment tips Who this book is forThis book is for web developers who want to develop applications using the Backbase Client Framework. It may also be interesting for web developers and web application architects who want to know more about XML-based web application architectures.

    About the Author :
    Ghica van Emde Boas has worked for IBM in the Netherlands for 30 years: as relational database developer, as IT Architect, and as a Java developer involved with the largest Java framework ever written, the IBM SanFrancisco Framework. She has been taking part in the development of object-oriented methodologies within IBM. She taught these at IBM's Object Technology University in Belgium and the USA. Ghica participated in writing two IBM red books and she has published two articles, one in the IBM Journal of Research and Development, and one in the IBM Systems Journal.She has co-organized several workshops on Generative Model Transformations at OOPSLA (Object Oriented Programming Languages and Applications), the conference where all new development methodologies were first introduced during the last 25 years.Ghica is now an independent consultant specializing in PHP, MySQL, and AJAX technologies. She helped write the Client Framework documentation for Backbase. She has written two books in Dutch about PHP and MySQL, for Pearson Education and she has contributed considerably to the Dutch translation of Foundations of AJAX (Asleson, Schutta, for Apress). Sergey Ilinsky is a senior UI engineer at Nedstat BV. He has worked for Backbase for 3 years, evangelizing open-standards based software development, and engineering and developing core parts of the Backbase Client Framework.Having been heavily involved with client-side development since 2003 he became an expert in many web technology standards such as DOM, XBL2, SVG, HTML, CSS and JavaScript, as well as in proprietary ones such as HTC, VML, XBL or XUL. He can frequently be found on AJAX- or Client-side technology-related forums or he can be met at international conferences where he occasionally gives talks. Sergey is nowadays busy with his new open-source project: the JavaScript GUI framework 'Ample SDK', where he tries to put many great browser-based application development practices into one easy-to-use software development platform.

      A Thrilling But Totally Believable Murder Mystery

      Read this in one evening. I had planned to do other things with my day, but it was impossible to put down. Every time I tried, I was drawn back to it in less than 5 minutes. I sobbed my eyes out the entire last 100 pages. Highly recommend!
