[NF] Web GUI Toolkit recommendation
by Charlie-gm 02 Jun '17

02 Jun '17

All, I am getting involved with a project where I'll be doing some web page implementation. Python will probably be our main code choice and we'll hosting on Linux servers. We are pretty sure we're going to use Django as the primary framework, but we need a GUI component "package" or whatever (we really don't want to go build that stuff from scratch). Primary requirements (most important first): 1) open source (essentially it needs to be "free" for internal use in our organization) 2) have a robust "grid" component (think of VFP's grid control) 3) easily integrate with Django 4) be extensible/customizable I have spent several hours of web searching and found various references: like DXHTML (has a free option, but limited), Bootstrap, jQuery, etc. The little gotchas I keep hitting are stuff like jQuery is great, but to get a "grid" you gotta use a "plugin" ... and then those plugins cost money... blah blah blah So, I'd like to hear what other people have used, hated, loved, etc. Sorry for requesting your mental burn cycles on this, but I have RTFI (Read the F'n Internet) and I really need input from folks I trust. Please do not waste my time with recommendations of Microsoft frameworks/code/tools. TIA, -Charlie

Southwest Fox 2017: Registration is open!
by Rick Schummer 01 Jun '17

01 Jun '17

Registration for Southwest Fox 2017 (http://www.swfox.net/register.aspx) is now available. See http://www.swfox.net/speakers.aspx for a list of speakers and http://www.swfox.net/sessionsswfox.aspx for a list of sessions. Super-Saver Registration, which saves you $125, is available only through June 30th, so don't wait. Putting on a conference is a risky endeavor. Conference centers require a guaranteed minimum income to block the dates of a conference; for a conference like Southwest Fox, that minimum is in the tens of thousands of dollars. We have to commit to the conference center by July 2nd and need your support by July 1st to make that commitment. We will not send out any "We need your help" appeals so please do not wait; register by June 30th! We know most of you like to wait until the last minute to avoid the credit card bill arriving too soon. We will not charge any attendee credit cards or cash any checks until we have committed to going forward (sometime after July 2), so this is not is a reason to wait. Doug, Tamar, and I look forward to seeing you in October! Rick White Light Computing, Inc. www.whitelightcomputing.com

Anything that needs any sort of meaningful interaction with a >local file system or devices, or a rich UI for example. 1) Snappiness, too. 2) The UI limitations of browsers are a bother. Oh, yes, there are some solutions, but unfortunately, there is no standard. And many of the richer features require security compromises. 3) When something fails, is it due to a bug? A wrong browser version? Security blocking? It is much simpler when only one thing can fail. Sincerely, Gene Wirchenko
