I’m realizing I’ve been reading up a fair bit on technology, but not actually *writing code* to the degree [I find] necessary. When not reading the current book, I’m still playing around extending a neat little asp.net client-side databinding class from this article from my homie Dino. I’ve taken the concept and boiled it down into a Sys.UI.Behavior class, reducing the consumer to a one-liner. I’ve looked into further breaking that down into a ScriptBehaviorDescriptor but realize that on-demand (like event-based) situations are a tad under-supported. I know this stuff is on the way, but its interesting enough. Seems like one of those little nitches you could bust out some cool code for $15.99 and rack up until the other stuff releases.
In either case, neat to play with. Client-side stuff is fun, but is’nt it amazing how clunky you feel writing it? Like 10% of the speed you’d run with server-side code?
