And the award for most jaw-dropping tech demo at the Future of Web Apps conference that concluded today in Miami, Florida (if such an award existed), would easily go to Atlas. The Atlas demo not only received numerous raucous ovations, but it even garnered an additional round of applause when it was mentioned during another presenter’s talk, and was a topic of discussion in a sit down interview between conference host Ryan Carson and Jason Fried and Joel Spolsky. “I feel like something just changed in web app design,” said an awed Carson when he returned to stage after the Atlas session.

今天在佛罗里达州迈阿密举行的Web应用程序的未来大会上，最令人jaw目结舌的技术演示奖将很容易获得Atlas奖。 Atlas演示不仅获得了无数的鼓掌鼓掌，而且在另一位主持人的演讲中被提及时甚至赢得了更多的掌声，并且是会议主持人Ryan Carson与Jason Fried和Joel Spolsky的坐下来访谈中的讨论话题。 “我感觉网络应用程序设计中发生了一些变化，”敬畏的Carson在Atlas会议结束后回到舞台时说道。

What is Atlas? Atlas is a new product, expected to debut next summer (Northern hemisphere), from the people at 280 North that will vastly simplify the design process and lower the barrier for creating applications in Objective-J and the Cappuccino framework. Essentially, Atlas is an interface builder that allows designers to create functional UIs for Cappuccino apps (which Atlas is, of course) without touching any code.

什么是地图集？ Atlas是一项新产品，预计将于明年夏天(北半球)从280 North的人们那里首次亮相，它将大大简化设计过程并降低在Objective-J和Cappuccino框架中创建应用程序的障碍。 本质上，Atlas是一个界面生成器，使设计人员可以在不触摸任何代码的情况下为Cappuccino应用程序创建功能UI(Atlas当然是该应用程序)。

Design shouldn’t be about writing text, said 280 North co-founder Francisco Tolmasky during the demo. Designers shouldn’t have to know how to write CSS or JavaScript to get their web app interfaces to look and behave the way they want them to. Atlas separates design from code completely, allowing designers to create rich web application interfaces that look and behave the way they’re supposed to — and even hook up to an application’s business logic — without ever touching any code.

280 North联合创始人Francisco Tolmasky在演示过程中说，设计不应该与编写文本有关。 设计人员不必知道如何编写CSS或JavaScript来使他们的Web应用程序界面以所需的方式外观和行为。 Atlas将设计与代码完全分开，允许设计人员创建丰富的Web应用程序界面，这些界面看起来和表现出应有的方式-甚至与应用程序的业务逻辑挂钩-无需接触任何代码。

To that end, Atlas feels a lot like Adobe’s Flash Catalyst (our coverage) or Microsoft’s Expression Studio Blend. There are plenty of important differences between all three applications, but they share a common goal of allowing designers and non-coders to create rich Internet application user interfaces without needing to do any actual coding.

为此，Atlas感觉很像Adobe的Flash Catalyst( 我们的报道 )或Microsoft的Expression Studio Blend。 这三个应用程序之间有许多重要的区别，但是它们有一个共同的目标，即允许设计人员和非编码人员无需进行任何实际的编码即可创建丰富的Internet应用程序用户界面。

Tolmasky was able to build a very desktop-like RSS reader (fully functioning, if fairly barebones) using Atlas in under 10 minutes. The process involved simply dropping design elements onto a canvas, defining their behavior, and then hooking them up code components. The approach was completely visual, and the result was entirely stunning.

Tolmasky能够在不到10分钟的时间内使用Atlas构建非常类似于台式机的RSS阅读器(如果可以算是准系统，则可以正常运行)。 该过程涉及将设计元素简单地拖放到画布上，定义其行为，然后将其与代码组件挂钩。 该方法是完全视觉化的，结果是完全惊人的。

Even more impressive, Atlas includes multi-platform support — meaning it can be used to create applications for other platforms, such as the iPhone, just as easily as it can to create apps for standard web browsers, all using the same back end. And because Cappuccino is compiled client side in the web browser, it is back end agnostic, so the business logic of an app can be in Ruby, or PHP, or Python or whatever you want.

更令人印象深刻的是，Atlas包括多平台支持，这意味着它可用于为其他平台(例如iPhone)创建应用程序，就像创建用于标准Web浏览器的应用程序一样容易，所有操作都使用相同的后端。 而且由于Cappuccino是在Web浏览器中编译的客户端，因此它与后端无关，因此应用程序的业务逻辑可以是Ruby，PHP，Python或任何您想要的东西。

Atlas is very exciting, and could clearly have a profound effect on both web application design and the adoption of the Cappuccino framework and the Objective-J language. The video embedded below is a recreation of Tolmasky’s FOWA demo taken from the Atlas site. According to Tolmasky, the release of Atlas is about 5 or 6 months away, but a closed beta test will likely take place before then, and developers can sign up for email updates about that at the Atlas site.

Atlas非常令人兴奋，并且显然可以对Web应用程序设计以及Cappuccino框架和Objective-J语言的采用产生深远影响。 下面嵌入的视频是Tolmasky的FOWA演示的重现，该演示取自Atlas网站。 根据Tolmasky的说法，Atlas的发布大约需要5到6个月的时间，但在此之前可能会进行内测，开发人员可以在Atlas网站上注册有关此更新的电子邮件更新。
