The last couple of years have seen big changes in server-side web programming.
Now it's the client's turn; Dojo is the toolkit to make it happen and Mastering
Dojo shows you how.
Dojo is a set of client-side JavaScript tools that help you build better web
applications. Dojo blurs the line between local, native applications and browser
based applications; the browser becomes the user interface platform. "Modern"
browsers provide an incomplete, inconvenient, and incompatible programming environment,
but Dojo eliminates these problems. While there are many JavaScript libraries
available, most focus on just one thing (for example, effects libraries, perceived
JavaScript omissions, or HTML widgets). Dojo addresses all of these functional
areas-and many others-extensively.
In Mastering Dojo, you'll get the whole story, from basic usage to
advanced idioms. Mastering Dojo starts out with a fast moving tutorial that
will give you techniques that you can start using right away. You'll learn all
about Dojo Core--the foundation on which all things Dojo stand. See how you
can modularize your project for development and automatically package your release
for optimal download performance. You'll also learn how Dojo:
- augments the core JavaScript library
- fixes the event system
- simplifies DOM programming
- provides a complete class definition facility
- includes a powerful remote scripting (XHR) framework
- ... and much more.
You'll love using Dojo's HTML user interface control widget system, Dijit.
See how to use over 40 widgets, including the rich yet easy-to-use tree and
grid controls.
Finally, you'll get an in-depth look at how to design and build a single-page,
rich Internet Application.
