Scatter - Ajax without coding, ideal for HTML prototyping
- wccrawford 16y agoHe complains about Ajax being a horrible term when it could mean something so simple, and then names his project 'Scatter'? Pot, meet kettle.
- gojomo 16y agoProbably the 'X' bothers him; it's always seemed silly to me to emphasize 'XML' when the most interesting uses of AJAX skip XML for raw HTML and JS, and the APIs for doing background requests only mention XML as a historic accident (like the misspelling of 'referrer' in HTTP). It's just a matter of taste, but I prefer a vaguely evocative name like 'Scatter' to a faux-precise-acronym like 'AJAX'.
- ez77 16y agoNo comments about licensing on the blog post or in the source code. (http://quplo.com/scatter http://quplo.com/scatter is not responding.)
- jaredstenquist 16y agolicense information is on the download page http://code.google.com/p/scatterjs/ http://code.google.com/p/scatterjs/ but agreed, it should be in the js file itself
- ez77 16y agoMy bad. Thank you. Edit: For the record, the license is MIT.
- jaredstenquist 16y agoI downloading the js file, followed the instructions and it didn't work A suggestion - when you post code, it's nice to have: 1) a working demo page 2) the example source code not in an image so it has to be re-typed to try
- primigenus 16y agoIt would be hard to just copy/paste the example as it uses Quplo's proprietary syntax (flow, a prototyping markup language). You'd have to load it in quplo for it to work, and we didn't want to suggest that you needed a quplo account just to check out Scatter.
- jaredstenquist 16y agoI see. I didn't look through the JS, nor have I used Quplo so I just figured i'd have to trade correct syntax for ease of prototyping using this. I asked myself a couple of times why you'd wrap <html> in <page> lol.
