About Visual JavaScript

Visual JavaScript is a platform for designing programs in JavaScript. I originally got the idea in early 2007 from having used Integrated Development Environments or IDEs (ex. Visual Studio, KDevelop, etc.). Visual JavaScript consists of two parts, the Design Tool and the Form Renderer. The Design Tool allows you to visually create a Form and then save it to a JSON object. The Form Render then can take that JSON object and render it onto the screen (it can also render it in design mode as well). The main point is that the JSON object could be stored on the server and transferred with XMLHttpRequest to the client and then loaded and rendered when it's needed. You can specify different script files to load, so each Form ends up being its own self-contained entity. Be sure to check out the demo.

Site Design

I've been putting this off for a while, but I've finally re-designed this website. I hope you like it, but don't get too attached. I'm going to be tweaking the css from time to time to match the look of my primary site.

Thanks Dustin

I just wanted to say thanks to Dustin Diaz for linking to Visual JavaScript. Check out his site for a lot of great JavaScript information and resources, but chances are you came here from his site anyway =)

Sourceforge

Sourceforge has approved the project. The code should be available via subversion. If it's not, try again in a few hours while I'm waiting in the import queue. I'm creating an archive of the files, and the initial 0.1 release should be available via that download. Look for documentation and other information to pop up there.
