Link: SproutCore Performance at Velocity OLC in December
I’ll be talking about one of the techniques we have used to make SproutCore faster (deferred JavaScript Evaluation covered previously on this blog) at Velocity OLC in December. Hope to see you there (virtually).
Link: SproutCore 1.0 Documentation Binge Part I
Docs for SproutCore 1.0 are coming along quite nicely. I just finished the first draft of docs covering SproutCore’s psuedo-classical system, properties, universal accessors, and property observing. Check it (and please edit/leave feedback):
Link: Inheritance Patterns in JavaScript
Interesting points on using pseudo-classical inheritance pattern vs the functional pattern. SproutCore is pseudo-classical based, just like Closure, primarily because of memory concerns. Nice to see folks at Google went down the same direction.

This is pretty cool. Juan Pinzon has been working hard on our IE support for SproutCore. Basically he does the dirty work in IE so you don’t have to.
Today he posted a short video where he loads and runs the SproutCore Sample Controls app in 6 major browsers - including an unsupported one - in under a minute.
Sample Controls involves building a UI client-side with over 200 controls all at once. It’s a real stress test. The fact that the app loads fast enough he can navigate in one minute is really amazing.
Great work Juan!
