  1. POIs AJAX easier with ZendX_JQuery or with Zend_Dojo?
    text
    copied!<p>The context is that I don't want to use Zend MVC - controllers, helpers, decorators etc - that's overkill for what I am writing.</p> <p>I've scoured the jQuery site plugins section and these issues bother me most: </p> <ol> <li>I have to <strong>search a lot</strong> for plugins - it is tedious.</li> <li>I have to check <strong>dependencies</strong> with jQuery versions. Thankfully I decided to stick with only jQuery or noConflict() would have driven me crazy.</li> <li><p>I have to hook-up <strong>all the id's and names of form elements</strong> across <strong>HTML+CSS+JQuery</strong> through Controllers, Views etc.<br> And all this because there is no other <strong>simpler PHP wrapper over jQuery plugins</strong> than ZendX_JQuery - and plugins is where the attractive scripts and effects are.</p></li> <li><p>Writing a <strong>in-house replacement to ZendX_JQuery</strong> will be a huge task in itself. But if you have to wrap third party jQuery plugins in PHP and maintain the thing it is full time job in itself. </p></li> </ol> <p>So I want to know if Zend_Dojo is much easier than ZendX_JQuery. I'm asking before trying out because I'd have to spend a couple more days installing, configuring and testing all the standard Dojo controls and then I can decide. All that's tedious for a rather simple app which <strong>may</strong> grow later on.</p> <p>The alternative would be a "jQuery-inside" PHP widget library that is stable and will work for a year without being broken or upgraded.</p> <p>Something like <strong>GWT or ZK or ASP.Net</strong> where you don't have to do <strong>low-level HTML+jQuery coding and hand-tweaking for every page</strong> with all the ajax controls and form elements.</p> <p>Or should I <strong>just drop an MVC framework altogether and replace it with a custom set of scripts</strong> only <strong>using Zend components where necessary</strong> - like Zend_Validate, Zend_Form etc.</p> <p>I've been working on desktop apps for some time and the switch to AJAX + MVC + Zend is proving a bit too unwieldy, especially given the abundance of design patterns in Zend MVC.</p>
