Cognifide Slice

Anybody using or has evaluated the Slice framework made available by Cognifide ?

I am trying to assess whether it will enable us to acheive a cleaner separation of the markup, scripting and business logic and in particular allow us to improve the testability of code we create in AEM. I'm not sure yet how well it might fit in with the more typical code I see which iintersperses EL and markup which (to me) make much of the code very difficult to maintain and test (in most other areas of software development we typically have a strong TDD practice often using DI frameworks). I am looking to maintain some similar rigour in our engineering practice when using AEM but most of the code I seen todate (both from our resource partners and on the training course) seems to take a somewhat different approach. Obviously I would prefer to stick with core capability of AEM before resorting to additional libraries.

Kind regards

Fraser.

We have decided to centralize all Sightly documentation on our usual docs and not create yet another separate site for that. This is why sightly.io has been taken down, instead please have a look at: http://dev.day.com/content/docs/en/aem/6-0/develop/sightly.html.

For some reason this post didn't appear in the forum, so I'm trying again ?

Really interested if anyone has tried Slice and if so, where there see its primary value ?

Kind Regards

I still haven't evaluated Slice thoroughly, I certainly don't see much talk about it.  My stance is to wait and see how the http://www.sightly.io/ stuff shakes out and am also curious about the newly renamed Sling Models http://sling.apache.org/documentation/bundles/models.html.   The best I can tell the Models are pretty close to the main purpose of Slice, but I could be missing something.
