| Which is the easiest javascript framework/library to learn and develop DHTML, DOM and AJAX applications with codeigniter |

There are a lot of great libraries out there, such as the excellent jQuery, YUI,... Personally i'm a huge fan of Mootools, as it's small, incredibly fast, modular, offers smooth animations, and is building up a larger community with some excellent plugins an scripts becoming available as a consequence. Soon, Mootools 1.2 will be released and it promises to be yummy :-) To see it's power, you can check out some of these websites: http://www.phatfusion.net/ http://digitarald.de/playground/ http://www.outcut.de/MooFlow/Moo3DCircle.html http://devthought.com/wp-content/article.../test.html And there are many more... Only "downside" may be that they expect you to do some learning on your own, but there are excellent tutorials available, and I managed to make some great addons for my own site, with little difficulties. Personally, I believe this "downside" quickly becomes an upside. I sure learned a lot... I feel that Mootools also nicely combines with the codeigniter philosophy of separating your code, behaviour and layout. It's object oriented, and it's very easy to make your javascript completely unobtrusive. You don't need any inline javascript, and that helps keeping your code clean and readable. Off course, that's nothing jQuery or YUI (or the others) can't do, but still... I love it :-) |
