Scenarios for jsc

This was my first anwser at  Stack Overflow.

The jsc compiler project enables these scenarios:

• C# to MSIL to JavaScript for browser
• C# to MSIL to JavaScript for AppJet
• C# to MSIL to PHP5 for hosting solutions
• C# to MSIL to Java for browser applets
• C# to MSIL to Java for applications
• C# to MSIL to Java for JavaCard
• C# to MSIL to C99 for native stub applications
• C# to MSIL to ActionScript3 for Flash 9
• C# to MSIL to Adobe Alchemy C for Flash 9
• C# to MSIL to C# 2.0

With some effort Visual Basic could also be used as a source language. The jsc compiler never reads your source code even if GWT and Script# do that. My compiler reads your IL.

jsc compiler is

• an experimental project
• one mans effort yet
• rather useful already.
• 3 years old.
• awaiting donations to optimize compilation time and output itself

The latest example is a plasma animation where a single implementation can be used between those platforms:

• Flash 10
• Java Applet (via canvas element)
• JavaScript
• Windows Forms
• Windows Presentation Foundation

AvalonWebApplication with PHP backend

I have created a new project template that demonstrates most of what jsc is capable of. Soon I will publish it on the sourceforge with a tutorial how to get started using it.

Long story short – Here is an application which demonstrates the following features all written in C#:

1. PHP Backend
2. JavaScript (WPF)
3. ActionScript (WPF)
4. Java Applet

Update: Moved the example to sourceforge and removed the querystring switch.

AvalonExampleGallery via jsc:php

Years ago sourceforge.net did not provide support for php5 – until now. The next release for jsc will finally include a php project template.

For now you can have a look at the example show below, where the php will generate a correct html view of the application and the javascript will make it interactive. Nice huh?

Known bugs: There seems to be some issues with IE7 tho…
