Enterprise JavaScript with Jangaroo

By compiling ActionScript 3 to JavaScript, the Open Source project Jangaroo lets web developers utilize a superior language for building large scale web applications. Since JavaScript is used as the target language, no browser plug-in is needed to run Jangaroo applications. Jangaroo reuses and provides professional tools supporting the complete software development lifecycle. CoreMedia uses the Jangaroo tool chain extensively to aid the development of CoreMedia Studio, a large scale web application which provides the user interface for the CoreMedia Web Content Management System. This paper gives an overview of Jangaroo and offers insight into concepts and inner workings of the Jangaroo compiler and runtime support.
