This is a blog dedicated to the RedUI project: rich UI client library written in js.
Why do we need one more UI framework?
Simply because no other framework is good enough. Honestly, I am a bit shocked that in our times there is still no gridview html tag. Or treeview, or listview, or datepicker. Coming from desktop applications world, this sounds like a stone age.
Surprisingly, this doesn't concern web developers much, neither does loosely typed syntax of js, the lingua franca of the web, for some reason. Neither the fact that there is no other choice, really.
But I don't want to spend so much time on UI as they do. I want to be able to ask for the treeview, bind it to the datasource and go on with implementing business features.
jQuery UI might be a solution sometime.
KendoUI looks great, but is ridiculously expensive.
Ext JS looks amazing, but also not cheap.
And there are billions of others, and most of them are crap. I need something of my own.
