It has been a long time now since my last post. I have simply not found the time to write anything. But today I have a little spare time, so I tought I'd write a little bit about my experiance with the prototype javascript framework.

We have recently started a developer group in my home town, varberg, sweden. We have a meating every two weeks and we talk mostly about web development on the .net platform. Our last meating was yesterday where we disgussed different javascript frameworks. We decided to have a pair programming session where each pair was assigned a framework. Our task was to build a small photo gallery like this one.

I was assigned the prototype framework. I was pretty glad with this as I haven't tried it before and I wanted to test a more object oriented framework. I have mostly worked with jquery before wich is more about handling the DOM. We decided that we wanted to explore as much of the oo parts of the framework as possible. Even tough it was a pretty small task we decided to take the oo approch to the solution.

After working a bit with the framework I have to say that I'm very happy with it. I like the way they work with classes and I think it will help make the code more readable. It might not work to well in small web pages where there isn't much javascript. But in big application I think it realy shines. I will deffinatly look closer at the framework and try it out some more. And I really recomend it.
