Developing on EyeOS

2012-09-26T12:03:00.001-07:00

Just to inform that eyeLeft is not yet dead, you can download eyeLeft 0.2

What's new? Honestly nothing, I simply have no time to improve or even test but since eyeOS 2.5 is no longer available for downloading, I just keep that fork.

What you will see is that Qooxdoo is being updated to version 1.6.1, during those days I'll deploy at home and test it, any feedback would be welcome.

UPDATE:
There's a regression on the new qooxdoo version so I need to investigate further before I release it again.

First version for downloading

2011-07-30T09:50:00.000-07:00

If you are struggling with eyeos 2.x and the contribs, I offer you my work until now.

You can download from here.

Looking forward for feedback and help, for instance a nice logo would be more than welcome :)

Planning eyeLeft Project

2011-07-28T11:57:00.000-07:00

Just a post to inform that I'm publishing all the work done until now in a sourceforge project.

If you are interested in develop application for eyeOS 2.5 with the contribs, I can provide you with an eyeOS fork with the contribs already included, and also my apps.

So, if you're interested in creating your own apps based on qooxdoo-contribs join me and help me to make a useful private cloud in eyeLeft Project.

Improved: EyeOS development environment

2011-07-24T11:07:00.000-07:00

After the last post, I slightly change my development environment to be more efficient. I still use Eclipse as an IDE because of the possibility of adding new development environments, and eyeOS 2.x requires at least javascript and php, not only php as I mention before.

In this post you'll find some old configuration options and some new tips and tricks.

For the Eclipse changes I also added javascript plugin to be able to code more efficiently thanks to the supporting tools that enclose this IDE environment.

And instead of downloading the development version, I use the official download that you can find it here.

Adding qooxdoo-contrib in production server

2011-07-21T13:16:00.000-07:00

If you made this post, I can understand that your work needs to go public ... unless you do it for yourself and you're happy knowing something else and no sharing it.

In this post I'll explain what we need to do for making your application public for all eyeOS users.

First we need to make eyeOS compatible with qooxdoo-1.4 for that we will download the latest sdk from qooxdoo.org here. By the time I wrote this post, there's the 1.5 version available to download, honestly I didn't check if works yet.

Application using qooxdoo-contrib QxDyGraphs

2011-07-20T13:48:00.000-07:00

In that post and I'll show you how to make your first graph using the contrib QxDyGraphs.
I based my work on the following post from Edu. Worth to check it out if you want to use contrib svg instead.

First of all, download the qooxdoo-contrib, in my case and for future use I downloaded the complete svn from sf.net:

svn co https://qooxdoo-contrib.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/qooxdoo-contrib/trunk/qooxdoo-contrib qooxdoo-contrib

As a reference, I downloaded everything in /Soft. After issuing the previous command, you'll see a folder containing complete qooxdoo-contrib project, meaning all the contribs available.
Now we are ready to continue enhancing our eyeOS

Get the EyeOS qooxdoo-sdk.

2011-07-17T12:53:00.000-07:00

There's nothing better to get to know eyeOS than hanging out in their forums. If you want to get involved, this forum would catch you fast! They have a very active community taking care of every post that appears.

Thanks to the following this topic I got some intel on where to find the right development kit to compile eyeOS.

Issue the following command in any linux machine to get the qooxdoo-sdk used for the eyeOS.



svn co https://code.eyeos.org/trunk/devtools/qooxdoo-sdk/ eyeos-qooxdoo-sdk

Update of ongoing work

2011-07-17T11:48:00.000-07:00

Currently I'm getting to know better qooxdoo. The reason is the link I see between qooxdoo and the version 2 of eyeOS.
Mental note: mastering qooxdoo would help a lot on understanding eyeOS

And for future work, I have few posts pending to revision about development environment.

More to come, stay tunned.

EyeOS is improving server side.

2011-07-12T22:37:00.000-07:00

A post on eyeOS blog regarding speed on sever side caught my attention, because I'm not really good on literature, I'll highlight the parts of the post I found interesting:

Adding external javascript

2011-06-22T13:03:00.000-07:00

Sometimes you want to add your own js file. Unfortunately the concept of including in javascript is not straight forward.

In EyeOS you can have a hack to get your js included, the only concern I have now is that if you execute the same application several times, it will pile up the js files, I lack the experience to tell you if it's going to be a problem.

But for now I can give you the hack, based on the previous post about my first application:

Preparing the development environment

2011-06-14T11:13:00.000-07:00

Some changes done, please check this post too.

I'm used to work with Eclipse, on my eyes is the best IDE because you have an active community developing lots of plugins for almost everything, in my case I use php plugin for eclipse, and subversive plugin for sync my environment with the latest eyeOS.

Before starting cooking the meet, still some condiments we need to install. In my case I use Ubuntu Natty Narwhal, so I'm not going to get into details how to install LAMP, instead I'll give you the link that does.

Developing first example application: Remotetime App in eyeOS

2011-06-13T10:51:00.000-07:00

In this post you'll find the code to write an example of Remote Time App, explained previously in the eyeOS developer manual. Be aware that the post will also be rewrote ... because the perfection is only achieved by revision.
