What is the PastryKit Framework?

I'm trying to find any information I can on the PastryKit Javascript Framework. It appears to be in use on the iPhone User Guide that is displayed on the iPhone itself in Mobile Safari, but I cannot find any documentation or API. If you want to see it in action, open Safari 4, set your user agent to iPhone 3 (In the Develop menu) and check out the guide .

Where to put javascript and how to handle events

For a long time I am looking for a practical (reusable, clear, updateable,...) solution to the following:

Php framework : symfony 1, symfony 2 or Yii

We are going to switch from an homemade framework to Symfony or Yii. The capabilities of these two framework are, from our point of view, similar (ie they both have what we need).

Are most PHP frameworks actually MVA instead of MVC?

Many PHP frameworks claim that they implement MVC design pattern. However, in their implementation, the model and view don't know each other and each communication in between must be done through controller. As I read in wikipedia, this is MVA (Model View Adapter) instead of MVC design pattern approach because in MVC, model and view communicates directly.

Javascript: How to make sense of all the frameworks and design philosophies?

I have been a user of jQuery (and some of its minor plugins) for a while. The Javascript code I've developed over the years could be described best as... messy. It used a ton of global variables and functions here and there, didn't use standard ways of organizing the code, nor any design patterns whatsoever.

I am currently building the new version of a website, and I have completed doing the backend with PEAR::MDB2 and Smarty templates. The rest is just homebrew PHP with some classes.

Now I am at the point where I'll add the Javascript layer on top of the website to improve the user-friendliness of some features. (while making sure everything degrades gracefully) I want to write better, cleaner, more organized Javascript than I used to, so I did a little research. I read Stefanov's Object-Oriented Javascript to have a better grasp on some concepts I knew only loosely about (prototypes, constructors, etc.) as well. Now I'm stuck at a point where I wonder which Javascript frameworks I should use, and how to organize it all.

After conducting my research, I understood Cappuccino & Objective-J , and Sproutcore were not what I was looking for. To quote Cappucino's about page:

Cappuccino is not designed for building web sites, or making existing sites more "dynamic". We think these goals are too far removed from those of application development to be served well by a single framework. Projects like Prototype and jQuery are excellent at those tasks

So there's that. Then I found out about Coffee Script , which is more of a one-to-one "compiler" and wouldn't help me with the actual organization of my code.

I also stumbled on some articles that give guidelines:

• 
  
  Using Inheritance Patterns to Organize Large jQuery Applications
  
  



• 
  
  A JavaScript Module Pattern
  
  

I also found out about Backbone.js , Shoestring , JavaScriptMVC , Google Loader , jQuery Tools , jQuery UI . I don't really know what to do of all this... The things I know:

• I don't want to invest too much time in learning something too complex, I want to keep things simple and flexible as much as possible (that is why I don't use Symfony on the backend, for example), yet clean and organized.
  
  



• I want to use jQuery, the question is, what should I use with it? (that is compatible too)
  
  

Right now, I'd use jQuery and jQuery Tools and "organize" all that in a simple namespace/object literal with simple properties and methods and also, since the site is localized, I just plan on using the simple vsprintf (as I do on the backend) with key:value pairs loaded from an object literal provided by the backend. JavaScriptMVC seems interesting, but I fear it would bring way too much complexity for a project that is fairly small sized. That is where I need your advice! Thank you very much in advance.
