I’ve been so busy with with work and such that I totally forgot to mention that tomorrow, Sept 10th there will be a Dojo Developer Day in Mountain View, generously hosted by AOL.
Come for the whole day, drop by for a bit, or just join us for dinner/drinks afterward. In the ramp up to 1.4, [...]

Dojo Developer Day, TOMORROW

Automated Dojo Layer Builds in ZF 1.9.0 Preview
July 23, 2009 – 12:18 pm
Early on in discussions with the excellent folks at Zend, one of the possibilities that made everyone in the room excited was the ability to use server-side smarts about client-side work to automate performance optimizations in ZF apps. After lots of great work on getting Dojo integrated, Zend Framework is
Online Shrinksafe App Fixed
June 23, 2009 – 11:10 pm
I’m not sure how long it was b0rked, but the online ShrinkSafe app is back up and working.
A Visual History of Dojo
June 9, 2009 – 6:16 pm
Dojo’s has as long a history as any chunk of JavaScript in wide use, and it’s easy to forget how long the road has been and how far the project has come. Will of the Lucid Desktop project has put together a code_swarm visualization of the project’s history to date. Lots of fun to see [...]
A Quick Word On Dojo and Patents
May 26, 2009 – 11:19 am
A relatively light-on-data article is up at Slashdot right now, and it casts aspersions both on the IBMers who contribute to Dojo and on the Foundation itself based on the Free Software party line that all software patents are inherently evil.
I won’t address the background point regarding software patents here. I’ll only to say that [...]
Dojo Wins Mobile Slickspeed Shootout
May 14, 2009 – 12:26 pm
Stefan K. has posted a fascinating run-down of mobile browser performance with regards to JavaScript toolkits. No big shock, but Dojo once again brings home the bacon. I’d love to see these tests re-run with TaskSpeed instead of SlickSpeed, but when you’re doing progressive enhancement it turns out that selector engine performance really matters. Dojo [...]
ZF 1.8 Is Out
May 7, 2009 – 2:17 pm
Congrats to the Zend Framework team on releasing ZF 1.8! This release updates the Dojo/Dijit integration and includes Dojo 1.3. Not only can you use the ZF view helpers to generate existing widgets, now you can use the view helpers to declare instances of your own components too.
If you haven’t tried out ZF, it really [...]
JSON-P hacks

The Uxebu guys show how to use Google Spreadsheets as a cross-domain data source. Clever.
Dojo 1.3 Is Out!
March 31, 2009 – 8:52 am
Dojo 1.3 is here! (download site)
If you’re already using Dojo, this should be a no-brainer upgrade. It’s out-and-out better. As a quick example, dojo.create(“tagname”, { /*properties*/ }) is now the preferred way to build DOM nodes quickly. Its simple API will be natural to anyone who has used dojo.attr(). Even better, Pete’s exciting PlugD version [...]
Dojo 1.3b3 Is Out
March 7, 2009 – 6:29 pm
New Dojo hotness is about to land, and you can get your very own sneak-peek by grabbing one of the beta builds, or if you’re a DOM-and-progressive-enhancement-only kinda person, you can grab only dojo.js.
So why should you be switching to Dojo or upgrading to 1.3? You can dig through the nearly 500 fixed bugs or [...]
dojo.beer in SF, tomorrow!
March 4, 2009 – 10:38 am
As noted on the main project blog, there’s a get-together tomorrow night (March 5th) at Le Trappe, one of the very best bars for beer in the bay area. We’re expecting a great cross-section of the Dojo community, so if you like Dojo and you like beer, RSVP online so we can avoid totally overwhelming [...]
Whoa.

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.
Census 2: More Than Just A Pretty Graph
December 16, 2008 – 8:59 am
Numbers without context are lies waiting to be repeated.
Joining Google
November 23, 2008 – 2:48 pm
Starting next month, I’ll be a Googler.
To my great surprise, I’ve been at SitePen two and a half years. It has been nothing short of wonderful which may explain why it doesn’t feel like it has been that long. When I look back at what we’ve accomplished it’s also surprising that we’ve been able to [...]
dojofoundation.org Is Up!
October 22, 2008 – 3:26 pm
My warmest thanks and a hearty “congrats!” to the Uxebu crew and Dylan for getting the new dojofoundation.org site up and running:
The new site is important for a couple of reasons. First, it’s a good step in the direction of working to make clear that Dojo-the-javascript-toolkit and Dojo-the-foundation are completely separate entities with different goals [...]
