This page demonstrates how you could use the Backbase Client Framework to code generic cross-browser implementations of several animation and transition techniques that deliver smooth 3D-like animation effects.
The development of the Visual Ajax Builder – code name Telamon – is moving on quite nicely. This week we’re sending the Beta version of the Telamon Visual Ajax Builder to the people who pre-registered over the past months. Based on their feedback we’ll make further improvements and distribute the Beta to a wider audience. If you weren’t on the Early Adopter list, please register for the second phase of the Beta program, and we’ll contact you once it’s available.
For those who are in the early adopter program, please view the Getting Started video
Evgenios Skitsanos wrote an interesting blog article that explains how to use Backbase with Microsoft’s free software development tool called Visual Web Developer (VWD). It uses the Backbase XML Schemas to enable code completion inside VWD (intellisense). VWD is then aware of the Backbase-specific tags, and will provide a list of available tags as you type, just like it does for HTML and JavaScript.

The performance of Backbase applications can easily be improved with general web development best practices, such as pioneered by Yahoo!’s Exceptional Performance team. In this article I’m outlining the most important optimizations, including some Backbase-specific hints. After you’ve developed your Backbase application there are several things you can do to improve the client-side performance without changing the functionality of the application. Let’s look at the optimizations one by one.
A while ago I did some experiments on creating an XML document by constructing a string versus creating it by using the DOM methods, and I found that the latter was faster than the former. QuirksMode by Peter Paul Koch has a Javascript benchmark for creating HTML however, which claims that using innerHTML is 35 times as fast compared to using the DOM (although I can’t reproduce that number in Internet Explorer 8 (IE 7 mode), it is ‘only’ 22 times faster here).
Adobe® AIR™ allows you to leverage your existing web development skills to build and deploy Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) to the desktop. You can choose to develop with Adobe Flex or with Ajax.
In this article I will give you directions on how to build applications with Backbase Enterprise Ajax framework running in Adobe AIR, will explain best practices for the combination and will show a sample application running on the Backbase framework in the Adobe AIR execution container.
This is a simple example that shows how to extend a standard "out of box" window widget and implement nice looking shadow. This article contains step-by-step instructions for how to use this 'shadow window' in your own Backbase projects, for both the Chameleon and the System skin. This is a screen capture of the widgets:
