ROCA-style: Simple recommendations for decent Web application frontends
- deleted 15y ago[deleted]
- obiefernandez 15y agoROCA strikes me as a very close description to an ideal Rails-based application. In fact, when Stefan was describing the pattern, I said "duh, that's a Rails app" or something like that. But what he's trying to do here is useful, introducing a description that is technology-agnostic. The main deviation from ROCA in my own apps is that unless utterly simple to accomplish, I don't try to accommodate non-JS browsers. Not as a matter of principle but rather of convenience. It is nice to aspire to 100% functionality in non-JS contexts, even with degraded user experience. I just don't know that it's practical in most cases.
- daveelkan 15y agoOut of interest, if you're not trying to accomodate non-JS browsers, what does your SEO solution look like?
- obiefernandez 15y agoI'm talking about internal pages that don't need to be spidered.
- horaci 15y agoFinally a manifesto of REST principles :)
- stilkov 15y agoPlease no :-) I'm really through with manifestos of any kind.
- obiefernandez 15y agoSome more details are here: http://www.innoq.com/blog/st/2012/03/announcing-roca/ http://www.innoq.com/blog/st/2012/03/announcing-roca/ "a set of rules to apply if the goal is to come up with a Web app that is actually on the Web as opposed to be tunnelled through the Web. We tried to come up with a catchy name, and finally arrived at ”ROCA”, a conveniently pronouncable acronym for “Resource-oriented client architecture”. So rather than a manifesto, they're trying to devise a nomenclature, along the lines of how Ajax gave a name to non-page refresh server communication with the browser.
- SpiderX 15y agoNah, no way am I going to allow wget or curl to do application work.
- coyul 15y agoWhy not?
