IDCC 380: Web Design II Spring 2010

Adobe Spry Framework for Ajax 04/08/09

Check this out:

According to the developers at Adobe, "The Spry framework for Ajax is a JavaScript library that provides easy-to-use yet powerful Ajax functionality that allows designers to build pages that provide a richer experience for their users. It is designed to take the complexity out of Ajax and allow designers to easily create Web 2.0 pages.
The Spry framework is a way to incorporate XML, JSON or HTML data into pages using HTML, CSS, and a minimal amount of JavaScript, without the need for refreshing the entire page. Spry also provides easy to build and style widgets, providing advanced page elements for end users. The Spry framework is HTML-centric, and easy to implement for users with basic knowledge of HTML, CSS and JavaScript."

Check out these Spry Examples:

1. Data Shell Sample
2. Multiple Filters Sample
3. CSV Dataset Sample
4. Collapsible Panel Group Sample
5. Tabbed Panels Widget Sample
6. Tabbed Panels, QuickMenu, and Web 2.0 Layout: Prototype I
7. Tabbed Panels, QuickMenu, and Web 2.0 Layout: Prototype II

In class, we will explore in depth the xhtml, css, and JavaScript necessary to create a sophisticated Spry tabbed panel widget. Your final exercise (!) will combine Spry, QuickMenu, and Web 2.0 layout and design techniques (see Prototype I and Prototype II ).
