Hello world, this is conjoon speaking…
Phew. A year of hard work lies behind me. In fact, if you count all the attempts in that it took me to finally publish a web based personal information manager (with the ambitions to become a groupware once), you can add a few:
I have seen frameworks come and go, I reinvented the wheel for libraries that already existed, but somehow did not fit my needs.
I evaluated Javascript libraries and couldn’t wait for the Zend Framework when it was announced back in 2006. But the right push was given me through the Ext JS library, developed by Jack Slocum. Never in my life have I seen such a thought-out js library with such smooth controls that it sometimes took my breath away when I recognized in which way this little piece of software makes use of complex design patterns.
I know what I’m speaking of, since I started my own little JS library back in 2002. I did not fail, however browser support was limited and the pain to get something working both in Mozilla 0.5 and IE5.5 could last days, if not weeks.
When the first download is available, you might take a look at the sources. A few left overs of the word “Intrabuild” may be shattered throughout the code, honoring my first steps with PHP and Javascript which I took 8 years ago. Though I’m taking care of moving all the code into its new namespace “com.conjoon”.
May all the good things, and only little of the bad things, have slipped into conjoon. As it may make your life as a developer a little less painful!
Happy coding
and welcome conjoon
Thorsten
