[yast-devel] Webyast - models in webclient and webservice - summary
by Josef Reidinger 16 Mar '10

16 Mar '10

Hi, because on Friday I finally merge in webclient yast model I create short summary of both models, its features and why you should use it. webservice model: Inspired by ActiveModel. It adds methods for easy validation, serialization, mass loading and callbacks. for example usage see Ntp and time plugins. For documentation see - class BaseModel::Base (I cannot connect to hudson for direct link) why use it? smart to_xml and to_json so you don't need to define own method unless you have hash with problematic keys (see time model for example how to solve it) validations which checks attributes before save same behavior as ActiveRecord and ActiveResource webclient model: Adaptation of ActiveResource to our case of changing site and credentials to target machine. It adds method model_interface which sets interface for model and fix finding single resource. Also helper methods for HttpMock which tests ActiveResource is added. for example usage see Time plugin or network plugin. For documentation see module YastModel::Base example of usage: class Stime < ActiveResource::Base extend YastModel::Base model_interface :'org.opensuse.yast.modules.yapi.time' end why use it? you can add functionality to model, so no more controllers which have more then one page same usage as any ActiveResource model, so new programmer is not confused what we using easier testing (there is still place to improve it), but I found that many plugins doesn't have test or test is really simple and don't cover enough code. for testing see how looks tests in network or time module. Thanks for attention and I welcome any comments, suggestion or bugs ( ..bugs are not so much welcome, but I fix it) Josef -- Josef Reidinger YaST team maintainer of perl-Bootloader, YaST2-Repair, webyast (language,time,basesystem,ntp) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: yast-devel+help(a)opensuse.org

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi list, i'm not (yet) a developer, but i would like to ping who of you work on yast2 DVD installer. openSUSE_11.3 will provide (finally) the new DE called LXDE [1] coolo already putted it on the DVD [2] i wonder if any of you could begin to add the "lxde option" to DE selection during installation, it should go under "other" like xfce. That because is really important for us to test as soon as possible how that new DE work with a clean installation and how eventually improve patterns. For any information you need, i'm here, just ask!

[yast-devel] yast documentation
by stefan.eisenwiener＠freenet.de 01 Feb '10

01 Feb '10

Hallo everybody, I have tried to renew the greman webappearance of YaST (because it was the oldest layout). Now I am needing some help. I'm getting to the developers documentation, and somethings don't make sense. -- basic YCP questions 1. Why do we need YCP. (an other scripting language would have done the same trick) 2. Why is YCP type based. 3. What is the use of Symbol and Trem Datatypes in YCP. (not the format) 4. What is the use of Byteblock Datatype. -- Modul design question Why is the SCR concept not used like it was defined in the documentation, to be the system IO. According to the Tutorial one should write a global API of the Modul to access data the Modul works with. This HACK would be redundant if SCR like described in the documentation, would provide the data. OK this would meen the SCR tree would be something like the Registry from the evil Empire of Redmond, founded by Darth Gates. :-) If anyone could help me, it would meen much to me, thanks. best regards Stefan Eisenwiener Unbegrenzter Speicher, Top-Spamschutz, 120 SMS und eigene E-MailDomain inkl. http://office.freenet.de/dienste/emailoffice/produktuebersicht/power/mail/i…

Google is using the GWT for their applications to leverage all the Java knowledge they have internally. The developers code using standard UI widgets, standard event patterns and the toolkit vomits the necessary javascript from there. Javascript and html are still the assembler of the web.

I don't think the browser technology is what at least excites me. But the culture generated by the web-world: - apps is always server side, so user gets the latest improvements without install. This allow for a continuous flow of features. Basic of agility. - designers are part of the process! somebody takes care that stuff looks great If you compare the usability of new web apps, usually you can't even remotely compare them with desktop applications. Qt is a success as a enablement piece, but there were few or none Qt applications developed with a designer that took care of the colors, and a UX guy that made the app a joy to use. Most desktop apps are still designed by developers. Web apps too, but the trend is in the opposite direction. > I claim that the only reason why people really want webapps is: They are > fed up with installing stuff.

See http://dev.chromium.org/chromium-os/chromiumos-design-docs/filesystem- autoupdate That is exactly why people wants more webapps. We still assume people want to do such decisions. If you make people do choices about their system, you are effectively turning them into sysadmins. > BTW, please do not associate desktop software with "not using the cloud" or > internet or so. Everything is possible of course. I also believe that the desktop has a role in the web world. I dont think everything will be in browser. KDE is going in the right direction, thanks that Qt also is doing that. The desktop will be a custom view of the web. > Please also be sure to check out for example > http://labs.trolltech.com/blogs/2009/05/13/qt-declarative-ui/ > and see how little code is needed to do really breathtaking UIs with todays > (gui) toolkits.

But all this technology will be used to consume web content. As I said, most iPhone/Android apps are still native apps that give a nice user interface to web content. That is why we have web services and not only html.
