Have you seen the new playground sample environment that was recently released by the creators of the qooxdoo JavaScript framework? My development life has concentrated mostly on development for the Flash Player over the past few years so I haven't been very involved in the JavaScript frameworks. So, the playground is great way to introduce someone, like myself who hasn't used the framework in the past to the qooxdoo syntax. The playground allows you to edit and run the sample code provided to help you get a feel of the syntax. Check it out at http://demo.qooxdoo.org/current/playground
