Now that Dojo 1.0 has shipped, the community is putting a lot of effort into finishing the new web site, updating tutorials, improving documentation, examples, and demos. And fixing bugs of course.
Even with the new launch of the web site next week, we know there’s going to be a lot we can do better, [...]

I’m happy to announce the launch of Comet Daily, a new site we’ve been working on to better explain Comet.
We have a number of great Comet developers writing original content for the site. Check it out and let us know what you think!

A new article, The Mojo of Dojo, by Matthew Russell (no relation to Alex) is now available, as is the short cut preview of his book, Get Up and Running with Dojo. These are great additions for learning about Dojo 1.0. The release candidate for 1.0 is due any hour now.

On the WebKit blog, Dave Hyatt announced that WebKit now has support for CSS Transforms. This is really interesting because it takes the matrix transformation possibilities from SVG, and moves them into CSS, allowing their application on any HTML element. I’d also bet that given WebKit and Safari 3’s solid SVG support, this [...]

It’s cool to see the Mozilla Prism announcement. It’s another entry to the “Desktop Apps with Web Technologies” section of my post on the Proliferation of Web App Platforms. Interesting that it is also announced the day Leopard comes out, with its enhanced Cocoa bindings and Dashcode support. I’m curious to see [...]

We returned from Italy recently… what an amazingly refreshing experience. Italy is an amazing country with the great combination of art, architecture, scenery, and cuisine. Fully recharged, there are a number of things we’ve been working on that are close to being announced:

Dojo Toolkit 1.0: After 3 plus years, we’re closing in on [...]

I’m giving a talk on the current state of Dojo at the Grails eXchange on October 17 in London. The conference is put on by Skills Matter, a training company that also puts on our Dojo training courses in Europe. They do an excellent job with the training courses, and there are a number [...]

After many months of working out the details, we’ve just announced the Dojo Grid! It took a significant amount of effort to make this happen, but we’ve managed to come together with a bunch of people in the community to bring an excellent grid widget to Dojo in time for the 1.0 release.
SitePen, Mozilla, [...]

There’s an easy to follow Cometd tutorial available that shows how to get up and running with the Jetty version of Cometd. The examples use Dojo version 0.4.3, but the syntax changes necessary to make this work with Dojo 0.9 are straightforward.

Eugene has posted his dojox.gfx slides from SVG Open 2007. It’s great information for anyone wanting to learn about dojox.gfx, or wanting to see a preview of the 3d drawing and 3d charting done this summer by our Google Summer of Code students.
