Product Description

Of all the Ajax-specific frameworks, libraries, and toolkits that have popped up in recent years, only Dojo has emerged as a prime contender. This JavaScript toolkit can literally revolutionize the way you develop web applications, and "Dojo: The Definitive Guide" demonstrates how to create ultra-portable widgets that you can easily share or roll out on any web server. Widgets have become a highly popular expression of Ajax, enabling developers to build small real-time data applications that web masters and users can import into any web page - applications that offer up-to-date stock quotes, weather, surveys, dictionaries, and more. Dojo is best known for the impressive number of platform-independent widgets it provides, but, like many open-source projects, its documentation is not always complete."Dojo: The Definitive Guide" offers you a complete introduction along with a thorough, hard-hitting reference to this toolkit. You will learn how to create complex layouts and form controls closely resembling those found in the most advanced desktop applications. This book: offers a concise introduction to the Dojo 1.0 and Dojo 1.1 betas; includes well-explained examples with scores of tested code samples; focuses on fundamental Base and Core utilities that deliver value to any web application's implementation; demonstrates how easy it is for designers to use out-of-the-box Dojo widgets (dijits) that 'just work'; and, explains DojoX extensions, and key components of Dojo utilizes (Util), including how to use DOH and the build system. Whether you're a one-person company with a significant web presence that's focused on a narrowly defined domain, or an organization employing scores of web developers who are all working on separate but related projects, "Dojo: The Definitive Guide" is a must-have book that helps you transform your ideas into working applications quickly by leveraging design concepts you already know.

1.0 out of 5 stars Avoid this book, 31 Aug 2008

By	Mark Twain (UK) - See all my reviews

This is one of the worst programming books I have ever owned or used. The author clearly knows his stuff, but is utterly incapable of communicating it. His examples are a major part of the text, but are uniformly dreadful: neither complete enough to run nor their purpose adequately explained. Do not be fooled by his quite helpful articles on the O'Reilly website - this book is not worth having.

4.0 out of 5 stars Best Yet, 25 Nov 2008

By	Zarquon (London, UK) - See all my reviews

I have to disagree with the previous reviewer's comments. The code is well presented and standalone in this book. Unfortunately it is all too easy to make syntax errors that stop the code working. This cannot however be attributed to the author but is more a function of working with Javascript on a day to day basis. I found the examples good and covers most topics in more depth than other books (particularly Mastering Dojo which I also own). Areas of weakness are the chapters on DOH and the build system which really require expansion in a future edition.

My colleagues and I have been using Dojo in anger for about 8 months now, so perhaps this text should be viewed as a more advanced text.
