MDV or “model-driven views”, eschews the concept of widgets in favor of template-based views which are behavior-based and update themselves when the data has changed.
Max Motovilov gave a presentation on MDV which was enlightening and thought provoking. He showed how he leveraged The Dojo Toolkit to create behaviors and data stores which update his views through his custom-built template system.
Max’s detailed presentation can be seen here, and you can also see the examples he used on GitHub.
Posted is the video and presentation of web design for non-designers. We cover a lot of basics, including logo design, layout, fonts, and color theory.
New goodies are posted! First, I gave a tutorial of the Hype HTML Animation App. You can see the video here, and you can see the final results here.
And we also have Bob doing the Ajax News, where he focuses on an interesting blog and topic, The 11 JavaScript Mistakes You’re Making.
The next Club AJAX meeting will be next Tuesday, June 7th. We’ll demo the new Hype animation tool, do Ajax News, have some give-aways, and finally a code Q&A.
Yes. The Dallas Mavericks are playing game 4 of the finals that night. We looked at changing the date, but that didn’t work – the Mavericks wouldn’t cooperate and move the game to Wednesday… something about TV schedules and 20,000 ticket holders.
Hence we’ve opted for an easy-going meeting, but it should still be fun! And I will have the Mavs game queuing up on my DVR and will be racing home to see them win!
Donald Smith gives an excellent demo on HTML5 Video and Canvas. He first converts video into a canvas object, then manipulates the pixels, creating some simple special effects. The group was very impressed at this functionality. VIDEO HERE. Demo files included.
Bonus Video: Bob Byron risks death by giving us the latest events in the Ajax world! VIDEO HERE.
“Nobody implements REST correctly”, said Dr. Roy Fielding, the inventor of REST.
But Jeremy Brown will help you get close. He explains what REST is and also presents a variety of topics and questions you will certainly come across while implementing your API.
Marvin Elder demonstrates his DHTMLX enabled interface that does database queries via a user interface.

Club AJAX is back on track after the Freeze of ’2011™. Tonight’s presentations will be Bob Byron’s Simply JavaScript where he will be discussing the basics of JavaScript. Also tonight is Mike Wilcox’s HTML5 is Dead. Mike will discuss the latest craziness surrounding the HTML5 spec and the standards bodies.
We are still with Improving Enterprises, but they’ve moved across the street to 16633 Dallas Pkwy, First Floor Suite #110. See the map for details.
See you there!
Due to sub-zero temperatures, we’ve suffered our first cancellation in the two plus years we’ve existed as a user group. This is a big deal! Sure we don’t have a lot of issues with bad weather (we get one or two freezes a year), but there have been other close calls: The Sun Microsystems building closed on us, and the Rangers had a World Series home game that missed us by one day. But a little weather… BAM! Closed. Okay, it’s not a little. Things don’t look bad because it rained and then the temperature dropped. So we don’t have the usual frozen trees and bushes that make it look like an icy tundra. Just unpassable roads.
We’ll be back on schedule next month. See you all March 1st!
Club AJAX proudly uses HTML4.1 Transitional! (We had the HTML5
logo on here, but didn't think that logo was as cool).
