About
qooxdoo is a universal JavaScript framework that enables you to create
applications for a wide range of platforms. With its object-oriented
programming model you build rich, interactive applications (RIAs),
native-like apps for mobile devices, light-weight traditional web
applications or even applications to run outside the browser.
You leverage its integrated tool chain to develop and deploy
applications of any scale, while taking advantage of modern web
technologies like HTML5 and CSS3, its comprehensive feature set and a
state-of-the-art GUI toolkit. qooxdoo is open source under liberal
licenses, led by the world's largest web host 1&1, with a vibrant
community.

Quick start
It is easy to get started with qooxdoo. For detailed information please
see http://manual.qooxdoo.org/6.0.0-alpha-20190325-c185b97/pages/getting_started.html .
For the impatient, here is a short version:
Use the './create-application.py' script to setup a new application.
This will create a minimal directory structure of an application, which is ready to
be built and run. Within the newly created application folder run the command
'generate.py source-all' to generate a development version of your app.
Open 'source/index.html' in your browser and see your first application in action. You can
then go on and extend it into an application of your liking by changing the
'Application.js' class file below the 'source/class/' folder.
API Reference
You might also want to open the API viewer in a separate browser window,
which offers the qooxdoo framework API in a convenient way (See the
top-level 'index.html' file next to this readme).
