Writing modern rich Internet applications (RIA) is a daunting task: Ajax, widgets, storage, security, JSON. All of these things, and more, come into play. Every developer needs a helping hand, which frequently comes in the form of a good JavaScript library, and one of the best today is Dojo.
However, because Dojo is so powerful and robust, it"s not necessarily easy to get your head around. Finding out what it can do and how to use what it offers can be daunting. This book seeks to alleviate that problem.
In it, you will learn about Dojo in a practical manner: through the exploration of four full-fledged applications. These aren"t simplistic, contrived examples meant to illustrate some specific topic. These are true, working applications.After the usual (but valuable!) introduction/reference-type material about Dojo that books of this type always provide, you"ll jump into a dissection of the following applications:
A contact manager for storing and organizing your contacts; A code cabinet, a place to put categorized code snippets and find them easily; A fun little browser-based game; A mashup to find and map local businesses, all using remote web services.By the end, you"ll have a clear picture of what Dojo is all about and what it can do, and you"ll have real-world examples of it in action to use as a springboard in your own development efforts. You"ll also, I believe, have a good time in the process, spotting pop-culture references galore and enjoying a lighthearted tone throughout.
