qooxdoo » Welcome

Welcome to the qooxdoo SDK! It is easy to create your own impressive and versatile applications. For detailed information on how to create such apps, for instance a typical rich internet application (RIA), please see the manual to get started (needs generation). get started.

For the impatient, here is a short version:

Use the tool/bin/create-application.py script to set up a new application. This will create a minimal directory structure of an application which is ready to be built and run.
Within the newly created application folder run the command generate.py to generate a development version of your app.
Open source/index.html in your browser and see your first application in action.
You can then go on and extend it into an application of your liking by changing the Application.js class file below the source/class/ folder.
The command generate.py build generates an optimized and compressed version of your application, located at build/index.html.

Open the included API viewer to display and search the entire API reference of the framework. Also have a look at the readme readme and license text.
