EDT:RUI (Rich UIs)
Contents
Overview
EGL RUI (Rich UIs) allows you to build modern Rich Internet Applications that are written entirely in EGL (rather than having to learn and keep up with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript).
The Visual Editor (VE) provides a what-you-see-is-what-you-get experience in composing and laying out RUIs.
Requirements
This section is to document stories & scenarios that are essentially in-plan.
Story: Hello, World
As an EGL developer, I can build a "Hello, World" web application in which a user inputs their name, and I can implement a service that responds with the user's input prepended with "Hello, ".
(This video for EGL Community Edition 1.0 provides a good illustration of this scenario, although there will be some changes and some improvements.)
