DOJO from the Ground Up

In doing some research, I found a post from the LinkedIn WebSphere Portal group that points to Joe Lennon’s article in developerWorkson DOJO.  It’s actually three separate articles. I thought they would be good to pass along.

Update: thanks to Wayne MacKirdy for cathing link issues.  Links are good to go now.

Dojo from the ground up, Part 1: Getting started with Dojo development

The Dojo toolkit enables web application developers to create Rich Internet Applications by offering a wide variety of features that save development time and effort. From DOM helpers and Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (Ajax) to a full-blown widget library and object-orientation features, Dojo includes virtually everything you need to build large-scale Ajax-powered web applications. If the functions you are looking for are not included in Dojo itself, it’s likely that you can find them in DojoX, a repository of extensions and experimental features that are not included in the Base or Core modules of the toolkit. In this article series, learn how to develop Dojo-powered applications from the ground up, covering the basics, Dojo’s great object-orientation features, and the Dijit user interface library. By the end of this series, you will be well prepared to develop Dojo applications of your own.

Dojo from the ground up, Part 2: Mastering object-oriented development with Dojo

The Dojo toolkit enables web application developers to create Rich Internet Applications by offering a wide variety of features that save development time and effort. From DOM helpers and Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (Ajax) to a full-blown widget library and object-orientation features, Dojo includes virtually everything you need to build large-scale Ajax-powered web applications. If the functions you are looking for are not included in Dojo itself, it’s likely that you can find them in DojoX, a repository of extensions and experimental features that are not included in the Base or Core modules of the toolkit. In Part 2 of this three-part series on developing rich web-based applications using the Dojo toolkit, you will learn about JavaScript’s object-orientation features, and how they differ from a traditional class-based object-oriented programming language. You will then see how Dojo bridges this gap by offering a class-based system of its own.

Dojo from the ground up, Part 3: Creating rich user interfaces with the Dijit component framework

The Dojo toolkit lets Web application developers create Rich Internet Applications by offering a wide variety of features that save development time and effort. From DOM helpers and Ajax to a full-blown widget library and object-orientation features, Dojo includes virtually everything you need to build large-scale Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (Ajax)-powered Web applications. If the functions you are looking for are not included in Dojo itself, it’s highly likely that you can find it in DojoX, a repository of extensions and experimental features that are not included in the Base or Core modules of the toolkit. In Part 3 of this three-part series on developing rich web-based applications using the Dojo toolkit, learn about the Dijit rich user interface component framework, which lets you build powerful interfaces with minimal effort.
