conjoon - bundled preview available
Yes, you might think the “ALL NEW!” stamp is kind of cheesy and the colors might be too bright, but that’s just how I’d like to announce the immediate availability of a preview version for conjoon 0.1 - in a very reserved way, of course.
conjoon V0.1RC1Pr935 is available from the conjoon project page and brings you a sneek peak of things to come. This release brings you
- system sounds
- configurable workbench, i.e. lots of drag & drop goodies
- a Twitter client with lots of features
- enhanced Youtube panel
- backend performance improvements (caching)
- Ext 3.0 to allow for a more stable, even faster responding UI
- Zend Framework 1.9.4 to allow for a more stable backend
- backend support for Ext.Direct-API (stacked requests, stacked responses)
- bug fixes, enhancements, and more…
There are some known issues with IE7/IE8 related to some user extensions that conjoon uses, that’s why I labeled the release as a preview and offer a “build” version only (i.e. no dev sources), but it’s fully functional in all other major browsers. Go grab your copy, it’s totally free. If you want to leave feedback, I’d be more than happy to welcome you in the conjoon forums!

t3n magazine: conjoon interview
There is an interview about conjoon in the news area of the t3n magazine. You can read it here.
I answer several questions related to the development process and you will find out why I had a hard time figuring out a name for the project. It goes without saying that I recommend ExtJS and Zend Framework for your daily work as an app builder there, too.
Thanks to the yeebase team for their interest in the software!
Ext.ux.Livegrid in Sun’s xVM Ops Center
It’s been in the works for over 2 months now, and I’m happy to finally announce that Sun Microsystems‘ xVM Ops Center uses the Ext.ux.Livegrid-component.
Sun xVM is Sun’s overall brand for virtualization and management software, and the xVM Ops Center is a tool for datacenter automization and virtualization management of servers at high-scale.
I’m glad to see the component has received such good reviews so far. The new release is still pending, but conjoon keeps me busy and since the livegrid provides necessary core functionality, development is an ongoing process.
Another big company (working in the financial sector) is incorporating Ext.ux.Livegrid in their software and with the upcoming Ext JS conference you can tell that the guys over at Ext JS are doing an incredible job.
At last, I want to thank Scott for his effort in keeping me in touch with the legal department over at Sun. It’s been exciting to work with you on the drafts, Scott, and getting your professional feedback. Wish you all the best!
