WebExpress 0.0.9-alpha – The Final Touch Before Release

Version 0.0.9-alpha of the WebExpress framework is nearly ready for release, and I could not be more satisfied with the progress. Over the past few weeks, I have worked intensively on the various modules, and the numbers speak for themselves. In the WebUI module alone, the codebase has nearly doubled. The number of C# code lines increased from 20,767 to 42,991, and comment lines from 11,472 to 26,959. The structure has also expanded significantly. The number of classes grew from 1,785 to 3,938, interfaces from 20 to 66, and enums from 67 to 89. In the JavaScript area, there was also a noticeable jump from 3,070 to 14,463 code lines and from 510 to 4,540 comment lines.

Similar developments can be seen in the other modules. WebIndex shows a slight increase in C# code lines and comments with a stable structure. WebCore shows growth in classes, interfaces, and enums, indicating increasing modularization. WebApp has nearly doubled in both C# code lines and structural expansion. Particularly striking is the increase in interfaces from 5 to 24 and in JavaScript components from 234 to 512 code lines.

These numbers reflect not only the scope of the work but also the quality and depth of the development. The architecture has become more robust, the components are more clearly separated, and the documentation has been significantly expanded.

Before the version is officially released, five key items remain on my checklist. The toolbar currently still has display issues that need to be resolved to ensure a consistent user interface. The chart controls, especially bubble and scatter charts, require further optimization for better performance and visualization. The new InlinePage control will be integrated to allow dynamic page content to be embedded in a modular way. The package manager should be able to load and unload packages more elegantly at runtime. Finally, the inclusion of CSS and JS files in the header will be simplified to reduce configuration and improve clarity for developers.

Once these points are completed, version 0.0.9-alpha will be ready for release. I am excited to reach this milestone and curious to see how the community responds to the new possibilities. Developers already working with WebExpress can look forward to a more flexible, performant, and developer-friendly framework. The journey continues and I am proud of how far we have come.

WebExpress 0.0.9-alpha – The Path Toward More Responsive Design

Image
With version 0.0.9 alpha, WebExpress begins a significant transformation. The system moves away from rigid layouts and embraces a dynamic, context-aware design approach that adjusts gracefully to any screen size. Responsive design is not just a technical feature. It reflects a design mindset focused on modularity, clarity, and accessibility. Why Responsive Design Matters In today’s world, users switch between smartphones, tablets, and desktops as naturally as moving between rooms. Design must follow that movement. WebExpress responds with a system that does more than display content. It stages it, adapting to device, context, and usage. What’s New in Version 0.0.9 alpha With this release, responsive design was not just introduced as a layout principle. It was systematically integrated into the architecture of WebExpress, both in the UI controls (WebExpress.WebUI) and in the templates (WebExpress.WebApp). Unified Scaling with clamp() and rem Typography, spacing, and layouts are now re...
