Dylan has the short-and-sweet writeup of what’s happening with DWR and the Dojo Foundation and Joe Walker has a bit more Q&A. I can’t really add much to the “news” bit of the news other than to say that I’m tremendously excited about it. The DWR community has been amazingly level-headed in its deliberations, and [...]

Comet Daily Is Live!
November 7, 2007 – 2:03 am
The new Comet Daily blog (to which I will be a contributor) is finally live, and already they are doing a better job than I ever have at explaining the value of Comet for building low-latency interactions. Greg Wilkins has an excellent post outlining the load and latency benefits of going with a Comet server [...]
The Browser.Next List
September 12, 2007 – 5:30 pm
Thanks to the Ajaxian’s for linking my last post on the topic of what we need from IE. As I’ve been responding to the comments, it occured to me that it’s not quite fair to poke IE in the eye when there are issues (like WYSIWYG) where we need the help of all the browser [...]

As things ramp up for the Comet Developer Day and the Dojo Developer Day(s), there’s been a ton of activity in Dojo-land. Here’s a selected sample:
SitePen begins to offer Dojo Training to the public! Signup here. Since we employ a huge percentage of the committer base and fund significant new development on the toolkit you’ll [...]
Adventures In Comet and Multipart Mime
December 21, 2006 – 3:20 pm
The Dojo Bayeux client implements a bunch of different “transports” and tries to pick the right one based on what the browser can support, the cross-domain requirements, and so forth. What follows is one of those stories that makes people assume that I’m crazy to do what I do for a living. They might be right.
Cometd, Bayeux, and Why They’re Different
August 7, 2006 – 3:40 am
Ajax has been stupendously successful in capturing the imaginations of webdevs in part because of the backlog of demand for better interactivity in browser-based apps, but also because it’s stone-simple to implement. One of the biggest problems facing the adoption of Comet is that it’s, by definition, not as simple. It’s usually not possible to [...]
Bayeux
August 7, 2006 – 3:07 am
There’s been a lot going on in the world of Comet in the past couple of months. Post-JavaOne activity from the Java side has been tremendous and I was unaware of most of it until Greg Murray and Greg Wilkins mentioned the various efforts to me.
Cross Domain Comet
July 22, 2006 – 1:04 pm
Cross-domain request-response via JSONP is pretty well understood these days. Well, at least among the 10 people who care. With Cometd we’re taking it one level further.
Cometd: The Long Tail of Bad Puns
July 19, 2006 – 3:43 am
Thanks to a premature Ajaxian mention there’s some real wind in the sails of Cometd, a primordial little Comet server and protocol project that I’m lucky enough to be working on. The goal of the project is to produce a content-level protocol for publish/subscribe event notification down to browsers. We need a name for the [...]
