NOLOH Guys Eat Their Own Dog Food

Back in the halcyon days of expert systems, one of the reasons a lot of us consultants and commentators found Texas Instruments' technologies to be so interesting was that they actually used their own tools in-house. There are a huge number of advantages to that, not the least of which is that technologies that are relied on by their developers are more often than not maintained and enhanced more frequently and in more useful ways than those that aren't.

That's just one more reason to love NOLOH, the exciting new Web app development environment and SuperFramework I've been using for the past 16 or so months. These guys build their own sites (apps) using NOLOH. And they add their own components to their kit bag using NOLOH "nodules" as well. As a result, they find and fix more bugs more rapidly than virtually all of the other frameworks I've checked out.

Latest example: some time in the next couple of days, the NOLOH Dev Zone will feature a new video tutorial on how to create a non-trivial app that is integrated into the NOLOH Dev Zone (and elsewhere in that app). Their Comment System -- which is a neatly hierarchical comment management component a la Huffington Post -- was written in less than 50 lines of code. The video tutorial actually walks you through how it was done. In the process, they also manage to show off some nifty features of NOLOH. Including how, in two lines of code, you can make any object fade into view on the screen. Sweetness.

All of this without a single line of HTML or JavaScript.
