Backbase Enterprise Framework - Book Release!


Book cover image

We are proud to announce that former Backbase employees Ghica van Emde Boas and Sergey Ilinsky just released a book called Backbase 4 RIA Development. The book, written for and by developers, is a practical book that teaches you how to use the Backbase Client Framework effectively, with a complete overview and many examples. A core developer of the framework puts the technologies used into a wider perspective of existing web standards and a seasoned software architect explains why XML-based UI definition produces better web applications.

The transparent use of AJAX technologies, for example to submit forms, or to retrieve updates for data grids, can be taken for granted with the Backbase framework. Packed with examples, the book shows you how to get the most from the library of UI components, and then extend the library with its own custom language. With this book in hand, it is easy to enable AJAX within your web application. You will be able to use the Backbase framework effectively, from basic applications to complex, custom-defined UI components.

Significant attention is also given to architectural aspects of designing a web-application, showing sample applications using a model-view-controller approach.

What you will learn from this book

  • The benefits of using an XML-based user interface definition
  • An overview of all Backbase libraries, with examples
  • Use of comprehensive sample applications utilizing the Backbase UI libraries
  • How to develop effective client-server (AJAX) communication in an MVC-based client-server architecture
  • What data binding is, what is available in the Backbase framework, and how to use it
  • Performance and deployment tips
