You're right the QWAD Framework uses a different approach to MVC. The
application logic (Model) is still located on the server-side, but is
accessible directly from the View (via Javascript) - rather than the
Model producing the View.
I am yet to fully document the QWAD Framework design to assist
developers, but that should be coming soon. As far as the PHP in QWAD
goes, it plays two roles:
1) Provide simple server connectivity with the client (handled through JPSpan)
2) Assist developers by managing Javascript dependancies and providing
a simple loading mechanism
Currently the dependancies PHP code is very bloated and requires PHP5
- which it appears most hosts are not yet supporting. I am about to
re-write the code to be much smaller and be PHP4 compatible.
Have a good New Year!
Cheers,
Chris
