Introduction ============ Facets is a web application framework that leverages a simple MVC architecture for the server side and a feature-packed Javascript component model for the client. The two pieces are designed to be seemlessly integrated for very dynamic AJAX-style apps. Revision History ================ Version 0.1 ----------- Version 0.1 is the initial source code release of Facets. This development release includes the basic functionality of the server side controller architecture, but not much more. The DataModel API has not yet been defined, and the JavaScript component framework is still a moving target. The server side APIs are relatively stable at this point, though their functionality has not yet been thoroughly tested. Authors ======= Tom Bradford (bradford653 at gmail dot com)
