August 18th, 2010 in UI, javascript by Webdevelopment

This is the discussion between our group members and excerpt of my view, Our development used:
- Java (CLI)
- jRuby (wrapper on java CLI)
- Ruby (API for jRuby wrapper)
-RoR (GUI)
-Jquery (view controls using selectors)
-YUI (Ajax data-manager, DataTables/Grids, DataPanels, Dialog box )
This discussion was heavily based on YUI library but here my point is to give the view what product can encounter when you have these issues:
- Lots of javascripts
- Too complex view which are heavily dependent on other logic models
- Lots of hacks to override different JavaScript frameworks functionality and css
- Single page interaction
- Many developers working and not using common files
- Back-end command line response is slow on top of one page GUI, which is heavy because of lot of javascript

Step 1:
Open file
source_directory\config\config.ini
and add these lines after database parameters
