UI Patterns Support on RIAs Development
Advances in web technologies and engineering book series · 2014
In Chapter 8, a review of UI patterns supported by using non-JavaScript-based frameworks and JavaScript-based frameworks for RIAs development is presented. For this purpose, the UI Patterns are classified in Transitional Patterns, Lookup Patterns, and Feedback Patterns. Additionally, this chapter presents a series of applications samples depicting the use of not only UI controls but also non-visual functions or classes (as applicable) for implementing the supported UI patterns. These applications are intended to clarify the differences and similarities between UI controls and UI patterns. Finally, the chapter presents a comparative analysis that summarizes the review of the capabilities of the RIA frameworks in the context of rich UI design both for JavaScript-based frameworks and non-JavaScript-based frameworks.
