Via Dion, Palm’s new Mojo framework for the Pre is based on Dojo!
As far as I know, it was a total surprise to the Dojo community (myself included). I can’t wait to get started writing apps for this thing and see what device APIs Palm has surfaced.

OSCON 2009 Call For Papers Is Open!
January 11, 2009 – 2:35 pm
I’m a bit tardy on this, but the OSCON 2009 Call For Papers is now open.
In the past couple of years the shift from desktop-centric to a more web-centric OSCON has continued to make the conference useful and engaging, and great work on topics like JavaScript/Ajax performance, Dojo, Comet, and many of the emerging back-end [...]

Numbers without context are lies waiting to be repeated.
Notes To A Future Self: Getting Productive On WinXP
December 8, 2008 – 2:15 pm
Windows XP is truly a horrid desktop OS, particularly if you’re a programmer. The default install contains roughly nothing useful, and even getting a development environment going requires grabbing the likes of cygwin, Visual Studio, and a zillion patches from Microsoft.
The truly dispiriting thing, though, is how badly cmd.exe still sucks. I fully admit that [...]
delegate(), delegate(), delegate()

My MBP batteries keep dying after about a year (each). I usually have 2 that I tote around with me, and each tends to be good for 1.5-2hrs of actual work. This means that I tend not to be able to work through a cross-country flight, and particularly not if I need a VM for [...]
“Action Oriented Programming”
October 9, 2008 – 9:40 am
It’s good to be back in SF after a pretty hectic week in Boston for Dojo Developer Days and The Ajax Experience. There’s a lot to say about them, which hopefully I’ll get to in a longer post. Our first DDD event under Pete’s excellent leadership was a success and Dojo and SitePen very well [...]

Lets end the silly meme that “Adobe lost” or that “Microsoft won”. The game has hardly begun and it won’t be settled in a standards body anyway.
A Lovely Box For Your Toolkit
July 8, 2008 – 11:15 am
I’m incredibly excited about the SitePen Dojo Toolbox AIR app that just launched. I’ve been using early versions for a couple of weeks now, and in that time it has earned a privileged place on my desktop. Being able to make local builds without delving to the command line is something that I’ve wanted to [...]
Zend + Dojo: More Than The Sum Of The Parts
May 22, 2008 – 2:56 pm
In the past several months, more and more integrations of Dojo with server frameworks have been shipping, and we couldn’t be happier about the Zend + Dojo integration that was announced yesterday.
Fundamentally the Dojo and Zend teams really “get” each other. Both are deep packages that give you an opinion about how best to do [...]
App Engine: Most Of The Stuff I Want, None Of The Stuff I Don’t
April 8, 2008 – 3:51 pm
I’m not sure who or how, but I got an invite to yesterday’s Camp Fire One event at Google where they announced their new App Engine platform. The event itself was small-ish, with lots of interesting people invited (both from Google and not). I had no idea ahead of time what the announcement would be, [...]
How IE Mangles The Design Of JavaScript Libraries
January 10, 2008 – 5:21 am
A lot of hyperbole gets thrown around about how painful IE 6 and 7 make the world of JS development, and so I thought I’d do a bit of cataloging to help those using Dojo understand why it’s built the way it is and indeed, why all JS widget libraries suffer similar design warts. I [...]

SitePen is hiring.
To be honest, SitePen is usually hiring, so why the blog post? Because I’m hiring for a SitePen R&D Associate. This isn’t your average programming job. Not only will all the work from this new position be released as Open Source software,it’s a self-directed research job. Combined with SitePen’s completely-virtual structure, you can [...]
Various Notes
July 12, 2007 – 6:52 pm
First, I’m gonna be at OSCON the same week that TAE is going down. If you were counting on me buying you beer while in SF, you’ll have to collect from Dylan (he’s good for it) or one of the other Dojo’s.
Next, can y’all please stop conflating Comet with a particular HTTP-level mechanism for achieving [...]
Tips for SoC ‘07 Students
March 17, 2007 – 1:37 pm
As noted on the mailing lists and other places, Dojo is once again an excited and grateful participant in Google’s Summer of Code program.
A bit wiser from our experience from last summer, this year’s Dojo SoC is under the capable direction of Robert Coup and Neil Roberts. I’m volunteering to mentor again this year, although [...]
Belated JavaPolis Roundup
December 18, 2006 – 6:48 am
This past week I had the good luck to be invited to speak at JavaPolis and while there, even for only 2 days of the weeklong event, amazing stuff seemed to be dropping out of the sky like rain.
My talk was in the first slot of the first day of training (before the official conference [...]
