I noticed the recent post on drupal.org that Scripteka, a predominantly prototype-focused site, is based on Drupal. It’s of course worth mentioning that the Dojo Toolkit uses Drupal for its web site as well, and later this year, the other Dojo Foundation project sites will likely start using Drupal as well. Not that Drupal is […]

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 was relatively […]

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 if and how […]

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 a […]

This is a rare non-tech post. Carrie and I have been touring around Italy for our one-year anniversary. When we return, we’ll post a full set on Flickr, but for now, here are a few shots from Milan, Cinque Terre, Siena, San Gimignano, and Florence: The main cathedral in Milan. The arcade in Milan. North […]

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 of […]

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, […]

In “Tales from the Evil Empire”, Betrand Le Roy of Microsoft has a summary of the current state of of browser history management. It’s a reasonably solid summary of browsers today, except that he comes to the following conclusion: Now, we only have IE, Firefox and Safari Mac. I just hope this is only temporary […]
