Horde (software) Horde is a free web-based groupware. The components of this groupware rest on the Horde framework. This PHP-based framework provides all the elements required for rapid web application development. Horde offers applications such as the Horde IMP email client, a groupware package (calendar, notes, tasks, file manager), a wiki and a time and task tracking software. The Horde framework evolved from the IMP (Internet Messaging Project) webmail that Chuck Hagenbuch published on Freshmeat in 1998.[3] A constant stream of feature requests not all fitting for a webmail application led to the development of a more generic web application backbone: the Horde framework.
With the release of Horde 4.0 in 2011[14] the framework saw significant architectural changes, a split into nearly a hundred separate PEAR packages[15] and support for smartphones. The Horde framework contains the following applications and application groups. Horde was the web client for the Kolab groupware system up until version 3.
Designing. Devoxx – Les nouvelles applications HTML 5 et DART. HTML 5 est sans conteste un des sujets phare de ce Devoxx 2011. Pour preuve la salle est bien remplie. Lors de cette présentation David Chandler commence par nous montrer comment HTML 5 peut nous aider à simplifier la conception et l’utilisation des applications Web. Il nous rappelle également que les versions récentes des navigateurs prennent en charge le HTML 5, mis à part Internet Explorer (étonnant non ?) David commence par poser la question suivante : comment créer une application Web avec le comportement d’une application desktop ? La réponse réside dans de petites démonstrations des possibilités d’HTML 5 : Sauvegarde de fichiers du navigateur vers le filesystem et inversement.Sauvegarde des données saisies localementDétection des déconnexions et reconnexions automatique.
Assez bluffantes, ces fonctionnalités se mettent en place en seulement quelques lignes ! David poursuit avec le CSS3 et nous parle des possibilités de transitions et d’animations. David nous présente alors DART. Blog Xebia France | J2EE, Agilité et SOA.
