I would like your opinion about these two frameworks. I like a lot the features of ExtJS, but recently I saw SmartClient and it seems to be great too, and free (its Client side features) for commercial projects. I tried a little of SmartClient and it seems to be easier than ExtJS, and it has a better documentation tnan ExtJS. BUT.. I didn't work with any of these frameworks and maybe I'm wrong. That's why I would like the opinion of people who has worked with them. And BTW.. how does the license of ExtJS work? you've to but one license for each developer and then you're able to develop and

I am using json service(.net RIA service) to push data to server from Extjs. Currently I have a requirement to upload document to server. I saw some examples using form submit to php files. Is this possible through json service? or Is it necessery to create some server logic where i can accept form submits? Is it possible to read some binary data from client side and push as json data to server? In Extjs, File uploads are not performed using normal 'Ajax' techniques, that is they are not performed using XMLHttpRequests. Instead a hidden element containing all the fields is created temporarily

I have a Solution with several projects in it, including two asp.net mvc projects that share a Repositories and Models that live in a external assembly (also in the same solution). Essentially... Core/ -Repositories -Models Domestic.Web/ -Basic MVC Site, references the core project International.Web/ -Basic MVC Site, references the core project What I want to do is build a Silverlight 3 / RIA Services application for all the database admin.

By default EF hides a many to many join table that does not contain additional data than the foreign keys to the joined tables. Is it possible to tell EF (and the designer) to explicitly create the join table and make it usable in code? Thanks Ladislav Mrnka No EF designer will not add this entity for you. If you want junction table exposed you must manually delete created relation and add junction table's entity and two one-to-many FK relations. Here are related questions with step by step guide: How to expose the join table in many to many relation How to get Entity to Table mapping for many

Does anybody know of any real-world web applications based on JavaFX? I'm an experienced Java programmer considering starting a website while I'm not at my day job. I don't have a lot of expertise on the UI side, so I'm looking for the best way to leverage my existing skills to create something that can provide an awesome RIA experience. Only trouble is, I don't know of any sites that are implemented using JavaFX, since it's so new. I'd like to see what it's capable of. Found here quite an interesting stories . Top two listed below. TweetBox TweetFX I think the best example of what JavaFX can

Our team is about to start a SAAS web application geared toward small businesses. This is a completely new experience for us; we are a system/linux/php development organization and no experience whatsoever developing client side software except for simple html/php based CRUD support applications. We are evaluating both Adobe Flex and JQuery. We can't seem to choose between the two. Our priorities are: Productivity - We have to launch the soonest possible time. Overall User Experience - Resulting apps have to look professional and user must have pleasant experience using our product. I think

We're planning on creating a feedreader as a windows desktop- and iPad application . As we want to be able to show Websites AND to run (our own) JavaScript in this application, we thought about delivering the application as HTML/CSS/JavaScript, just wrapped by some .NET control or a Cocoa Touch webbrowser component. So the task at hand is to find out which framework to use to create the HTML/CSS/JS files to embed in the application. For the development of the HTML/CSS/JavaScript we would be happy to use Vaadin, GWT, or some other framework, as we're a lot better with Java than with JS. We

I've noticed a dramatic increase in GWT popularity during the past 6 months. More evidence can be seen here: http://www.indeed.com/jobtrends?q=gwt&l= Can someone explain the cause? I would say jsight's answer is a pretty good explanation. I have looked at Flex, Rails and GWT. All three inhabit the same space, with Flex producing Flash RIAs and GWT and Rails doing the same for HTML. Having worked with Flex, there is a lot to like but some serious niggling problems, the main one for me being the difficulty integrating HTML into a Flex app - it's no trivial task and there are few projects that
