Project Description

Objective

  • Investigate technologies to build a toolkit such as CTK optimized for the web and touch devices.

Approach, Plan

  • Working name is ctkjs
  • We are looking at using polymer
  • Web technologies are still rapidly evolving so picking a good toolset will be tricky.

Progress

  • Polymer seems to be the right solution:
    • reponsive
      • 1 component for all platforms (phone, tablet, desktop)
    • easy to hook up components to build new components
      • that is polymer's philosophy
    • works everywhere thanks to polyfills
  • github organization created
  • first components to be implemented:
    • range slider (nicolas)
    • ...
  • each component will have to follow polymer's guidelines
