Time for action - checking the demo browser and the playground applications

Let's check the supporting tools that qooxdoo provides to explore all the widgets in the GUI Toolkit.

Demo browser

The demo browser allows you to browse through all the widgets provided by the qooxdoo framework. Double-click the tree nodes in the left panel to see the behavior on the right panel.

Go to the URL (http://demo.qooxdoo.org/current/demobrowser/#) and browse through all the widgets shown in the demo. The demo browser application is shown in the following screenshot:

Playground

You can change the sample code and play in the playground environment provided by the qooxdoo framework. Run it immediately, and see the results. Even without setting the qooxdoo development environment, you can do some coding in the playground environment and try it. Either you can play with one of the samples in the playground environment or select one of the widgets in the demo browser, take it to the playground, and play with it.

Go to the URL http://demo.qooxdoo.org/1.3/playground/# and play with the widgets. The qooxdoo playground application is shown in the following screenshot:

What just happened?

You have browsed the demo and played in the playground of the qooxdoo framework. These are the pretty cool features offered by the qooxdoo framework that allow you to explore the widgets provided by the qooxdoo framework. As qooxdoo provides a lot of widgets for different purposes, it is a nice idea to browse the demo and play in the playground environment once in a while to know more about all these widgets. Another option is to carry out this activity whenever you are looking for a widget for use in your application.
