DESCRIPTION:
Now, for the first time, there's a complete, example-rich developer's guide to Dojo and its growing library of prepackaged widgets. He thoroughly explains Dojo's helper functions, shortcuts, and special methods, illuminating each feature with examples of the JavaScript problems it can solve. Among the Widgets, he covers in detail: Date Pickers, Rich Text Editors, Combo Boxes, Expandable Outlines, and many others. Harmon begins by demonstrating how to "Ajax-ify" existing applications and pages with Dojo, adding Ajax features such as client- and server-side vali
A weak introduction to Dojo I was a little disappointed in this book, but before I go on to the reasons let me explain what I am looking for. I am not new to programming, web development, or writing fairly complicated applications with Javascript. I am already fairly familiar with toolkit such as Ext and Dojo before the version jump. I was hoping this book would be a good reference and guide to working with the features of Dojo. I am not as interested in "dojoifying" web pages as I am in creating Javascript applications that heavily integrate with Dojo. This book may be decent for a web developer that wants an introduction to adding Dojo to web . Good Intro This is a nice intro.

It got me in and running immediately on using some code. I d. Good to get you started but there are some issues The book is a good book on getting you stated in Dojo and the examples are good. The book though seems a bit rushed to market there is errors in the code everywhere I seen typos to just completly wrong code in the book. I would have rated this higher but the errors are a problem if you try and follow the code in the book. My suggestion is you need to download the code from the authors website. Follow that code instead. I have read the other dojo books and they have a simular problem. Dojo is very powerful and there just isn't very many people to review the books for mistakes. If you looking for documentaion on Dojo an
