  4. Apple’s Myriad JavaScript Frameworks

    rentzsch:

    Try as they might to project a monolith image, there isn’t one Apple — there’s multiple silos each containing multiple teams.

    Some of these teams interact with web technologies, and end up building frameworks to assist in development. Here’s a run-down of Apple’s many JavaScript frameworks, some public, some not:

    • SproutCore is used by the MobileMe team. Publicly advertised, targeting desktop-class web applications. Chief competitor: Cappuccino. (IMO SproutCore’s gem is the DataStore layer. To my knowledge, nothing has caught up with it yet.)

    • Gianduia used by Apple retail. Not advertised yet, but you can see a demonstration on Apple’s One to One (requires buying a new Mac+contract) or for a limited time their holiday retail reservation system. As I previously tweeted, Gianduia is like SproutCore in that it targets desktop-class web apps.

    • TuneKit is a small publicly-advertised framework for targeting WebKit-in-iTunes. Published by the iTunes team.

    • Coherent is the publicly-advertised framework blessed by Dashcode 3. Developer tools team.

    • PastryKit is an Apple-internal framework focusing on iPhone-style UI in a WebKit view. Used by the iPhone team.

    Thanks to Pascal Robert for suggesting some of these team categories. It was at Pascal’s WOWODC 09 that I learned about Gianduia.

    LESS was inspired by its predecessors—especially Sass, a ruby project which provides an ingenious solution to a lot of the common problems CSS designers and web developers face when developping large websites.

  9. If you’re a Web designer, expect your CSS colors & your untagged/unmanaged images to look darker on Snow Leopard than on previous versions of the Mac OS. You’ll also see less of a visible color shift when going from Photoshop to Flash or other unmanaged environments (e.g. Internet Explorer).
