ToscaWidgets: Test Driven Modular Ajax
If you have ever struggled with having to re-create the same content in multiple places in your web application it might be time to look at ToscaWidgets. ToscaWidgets gives the developer the ability to create reusable web content. This 3 hour lesson will cover installation, integration, and usage of ToscaWidgets. After we have a handle on how to create validated forms with ToscaWidgets, we will spend the second half of this lesson creating a working ajax widget, which we will test the client side component using ToscaWidget javascript technology.
