Build web apps in Javascript - new service open for beta

[AppPad]

Hello,
This is a new website I am involved with, and we are seeking to open
up to a shortlist of users.

http://apppad.com

The basic overview of the service is:
- You define Object Type models & can use a Javascript API to persist
object data.
- You create HTML+Javascript applications (everything is provided for
you - no hosting or DB needed)

Hoping to find a few curious/interested Javascript gurus out there
who'd like to try it out.
Thanks & regards.

That is a neat idea. I'm sure there are people that know front-end
technology but not the database side of things. Adobe Air is trying to
leverage this knowledge to build desktop apps.

Hoping to find a few curious/interested Javascript gurus out there
who'd like to try it out.

Unfortunately I don't have the time but good luck!

An application framework based on HTML and JavaScript will require, at
the very least, developers who can write valid HTML and solid cross-
browser JavaScript. Best of luck in finding some.

They are certainly not living at the above URL :-)

Not even a bloody doctype!

Not really.

window.onload = myfunction;

Don't let Thomas know that :)

With the .js extension of course. It is what happens when I think ahead
of myself. They had installed jQuery and Prototype on the server and had
put it in every single page on my server and "fixing" code so that it
was "unobtrusiv e". No, I was not happy. They spent Thursday, Friday and
part of this last Monday fixing it.

David Mark meinte:

Certainly unobtrusive JavaScript via Prototype *and* jQuery is
madness. Your "senior programmer" should be demoted to junior
janitor.

Come off it! Janitors can save the universe.

Just him. It was his team that did the leg work and it saved them. The
only thing that saved me was my daily backups. Most of Monday was spent
double checking and making sure that everything from Wednesday, Thursday
and Friday got updated in the databases. They went to a paper back up
system and we had to make sure everything got entered and saved. It did
make me go to a complete daily backup. We were doing weekly backups on
the entire system and daily backups on critical data. Now, it is done
daily on the entire system.

They all know, without a doubt, how pissed off I can get though.

Proprietary and error-prone approach. I know.

Only in Thomas' warped mind is it.

Agreed.

Once you recognized that there is inherent truth in the statement that your
favorite (collection of) browser(s) is not the standard for every user agent
out there, you will see how mistaken you really are here.

><script type="text/javascript" src="prototype-1.6.0.2"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.2.3"></script>

As Thomas would say: OMG.

Don't quote me unless you mean it.
