Bruz Marzolf is writing a series of blog posts implementing a simple time
tracking app in various client-side rich web app frameworks. He just finished
his example in SproutCore and including some source code.
Here’s what he had to say:
SproutCore provides a higher level abstraction that manages when objects are

even technologies that aren’t yet supported in Internet Explorer 6, 7, or
8. Take advanta... (more)
One of the coolest parts of the new SproutCore View layer is its ability to
use aspect-based programming to add behaviors to views.
Aspect-based programming is built on the premise that often objects that
don’t follow from the same class hierarchy may in fact need similar
behaviors.
This is especially true in GUI programming when designers come to you and say
something like “I came up wi... (more)
