8 Qooxdoo Questions And Answers
2⟩ What languages and technologies do we need to know?
Not many. qooxdoo features regular object-oriented GUI programming without requiring knowledge of low-level web technologies. No HTML, no CSS, no DOM. Just JavaScript. Even non-JavaScript programmers get easily familiar with qooxdoo's OO capabilities and its tool chain.
3⟩ Is not qooxdoo just another JavaScript library?
No. It's also not just a "library", but a "framework". It is much more comprehensive than a typical JS library like jQuery or Prototype. qooxdoo's main focus is on creating full-featured rich internet applications (RIAs), so it comes with a large set of high-quality widgets and features a powerful, platform-independent tool chain. But due to some recent advancements it is now also possible to leverage qooxdoo as a low-level library for extending traditional HTML documents.
4⟩ Does qooxdoo come with a server?
No. If you already have an existing backend that serves HTTP (or HTTPS) requests, it's probably fine to continue using it. Optionally qooxdoo offers several RPC servers for an elegant client-server communication. BTW, during development of your client application the local file system often is sufficient, without the need to use a real server.
5⟩ Which browsers are supported?
A qooxdoo application runs in all major web browsers - with identical look & feel.
