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, [...]

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 [...]

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 writing a recent post about thinking outside the (browser) box, I started thinking about the rapid rate by which things are changing. A year ago, most web developers had to think about Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari, Opera, and perhaps WAP for mobile devices and widget development for one of more platforms.
Today, we are afforded [...]

It’s a bit late to be doing a WWDC follow-up, but better late than never. Alex and I were invited to give a talk about Dojo several months ago, as was Sam Stephenson of Prototype. Since we’re not really allowed to talk about anything tech from the talk that isn’t public, I thought [...]

We use Daylite for our internal group calendar, and for the most part we love this Mac-only application. However, there are a few basic things about it that do not make sense.

The fields for start and end time are not wide enough to see the start and end time (see image). Regardless of [...]

About six months ago, I started talking with Atif Khan about a device his company has been working on since 2004. Today I got a chance for the first time to see more details on the deeda, which looks more like an iPhone than anything else I’ve seen. The approach they are [...]

A number of random JavaScript musings from recent events, none of which are meaty enough to constitute a blog post.

First off, congrats to Jack Slocum on launching ext and Dean Edwards on unleashing base2. It’s great to see solid work pushing things forward in the JavaScript world.
