仅客户端的Web应用程序

Question

I am seeing more and more applications that seem as though they are entirely written in JavaScript see ( https://chrome.google.com/webstore/ ) for an example and view the source. As you will see there is no source code except a call to a series of JS files. The app works as though it's still a website though and seems to use the HTML5 history API to alter the address on the fly.

Anyone know much about this sort of technology/design patterns, know some good starting points or examples of their own? I have seen things like Sproutcore and Cappuccino but they seem very different to the way in which the Chrome web store has been built.

I'm looking to use it with frameworks like ASP.NET MVC 3 and CakePHP.

Alot of Googles projects are developed with Google Web Toolkit. It's a framework for building Javascript apps in Java.
