[TYPO3-50-general] Rebuilding Backend GUI

[Michael Feinbier]

Hey everybody,

For my AOPBrowser for FLOW3 I'm using the extJS Framework. I am very
happy with that because it is a very strong and usefull framework.

> as the extJS object interfaces sometimes seem a bit chaotic to me, all objects have lots and lots of configuration options (many of which could be encapsulated more cleanly, ...), and some seemingly easy tasks are quite daunting with extJS. 

Well, the main Problem with that is, that nobody (of 'us' as PHP
Developers etc) are not used on the Syntax and Objects JavaScript is
using. JS is a very object orientated language (even if you dont see
that at once ;)) so you can work with objects, methods and inheritance
as well.
Most of the demos you can see on the extJS page are written in 'dirty
spaghetti code' which contains many nested objects with much
configuration to make the use clear.

But if you take some time to understand the architecture you can build
well arranged objects.

I will try to demonstrate how this could look like in the AOPBrowser. A
small preview for that will be aviable soonish :)

cheers

Micha
