Objective-j is an application development language and framework that allows for plugin-free development of web 2.0 apps using JavaScript. It implements language features through a dynamic pre-processor for JavaScript. No HTML or CSS is required. Objective-j mixes with JavaScript and uses data types like Objective-j arrays with JavaScript and vice versa. The framework emulates Cocoa elements like CoreGraphics and CoreAnimation, and is called Cappucino. A premier demo is the 280Slides presentation app available at 280Slides.com.
What is Objective-j
- 1. What is Objective-j? Application development language and Framework for plug-in free development of Web 2.0 Apps based on JavaScript engine. Language features implemented as dynamic pre-processor alled "Dynamic Pre-Interpretation" for JavaScript. No HTML or CSS required. Mix Objective-j and JavaScript and use various data types such as Objective-j arrays with JavaScript and vice-versa. Framework is an emulation of core elements of Apple's Cocoa such as CoreGraphics and CoreAnimation called Cappucino. Premier demo application is a presentation application called 280Slides available at 280Slides.com
- 2. What can you do with Objective-j? Anything that JavaScript can do! Plus you have the full power of Cappucin.
- 3. What else can you do with Objective-j?
- 4. What can't you do with Objective-j? Not many things. What Web 2.0 needs is a powerful, modern graphics and control framework above JavaScript which abstracts the variations of browsers, such that the very goodness of desktop app design can be brought to the web. Yummy!
- 5. What shouldn't you do with Objective-j?
- 6. What does this mean for Userplane? I don't know. But this is the coolest thing, in the Web space, I've seen since the first demos of Macromedia Shockwave. The impact is the native use of the built-in capabilities of browsers to create desktop quality apps. True, thinnest of the thin clients. Windows, Mac, Linux, Whatever. We can think of something.
