#Pook - Not usable yet. Stay Tuned!

##Designed to make beautiful apps from the inside out, pook aims to be

1. Expressive. simple, elegant code

2. Fast. ultra-light ( < 400KB) core with no dependencies

3. Extensible. everything is a module

4. Scalable. load balanced & fault tolerant

5. Responsive. realtime is supported not required

6. Cohesive. blur line between server and client

Like CoffeeScript is to JavaScript, Pook compiles into AngularJs. A working knowledge of Angular is required to be successful. Once stable, documentation will be forthcoming...

// Pook - beautiful applications from the inside out // ---------------------------------------------------------------- // Pook is built on the philosophy that a framework should be // 1) Lightweight. Pook is only XX Kb unminified, unzipped // 2) Expressive. Syntax should be short and readable // 3) Modular. Pook is a collection of elegantly organized modules // 4) Extendable. Easy & consistent way to extend and configure // 5) Scalable. Instantly scale many identical nodes without help

// Features // ---------------------------------------------------------------- // - Instant page loads using PJAX. No submit buttons, no full page refreshes // - No differentiation between client-side and server-side code // - Instant client-side authentication for views, secure server-side auth for data // - Built in extandable RegEx security filters and instant client-side form validation // - Extend any module by simply appending the child module's name with a + // - Database drivers available to work with any SQL or NoSQL database (default is Cassandra) // - No vendor lock-in // - ?Realtime using SocketSteam's realtime transport and realtime service specs? (ORM uses rt-RPC) // - Bootstrap directives allow for instant styling without any boilerplate // - Compatible with middleware before routing (e.g., body parser) and after response (e.g., minifier) // - No domain specific language. Uses angular to create expressive html templates

// How it works // ---------------------------------------------------------------- // Pook is an opionated framework based on angular that will // help you write beautiful code from the inside out. // // Per tenant #2, angular (included via CDN) is pook's "template engine". // Much like coffeescript is to javascript, pook compiles into a client side angular application // automatically injecting a number of services such as the url params and $scope object // Notice that each Pook module is also an angular modules and like angular can have files // that compile into Angular factories, services, filters, directives. // // the + module is home for your client and has all the other modules injected // into it as dependencies. To extend a module create a folder with the same // name and add a plus sign. Pook will use Object.create to make the orginal // module a prototype and use your extension of that modular instead. // Per tenant #1, pook has no dependencies other than angular
