dojo community resources

Peter Higgins and I spent part of our evening assembling a collection of Dojo Community Resources, mostly in the form of up do date tutorials and demos.

web app poll

In preparation for their next Future of Web Apps conference, Carsonified is running a poll at Web App Charts to get feedback on your favorite web apps. I’m curious to hear the results, and see if things have changed recently, or if the early popular Ajax apps are still the most popular.

aptana jaxer

I’m pleased to announce that I recently accepted Aptana’s offer to join their advisory board, along with a number of other great people in the Ajax community.

On Surfin’ Safari, there’s also a new article about 10 new things with WebKit […]

standards deviations

Last month, Microsoft created a document outlining each of the major browser’s deviations from the ECMAScript 3 standard. The blog entry links to the full 87 page summary which is pretty informative. For example, something as straightforward as parseInt(string, radix) has different behavior across browsers. When radix is 0 or undefined and the string’s number […]

dojo 1.0.1 released

Dojo 1.0.1 has been released. Users of 1.0 are encouraged to update, and should have no issues with the migration. As mentioned previously, this release fixes 40+ bugs from 1.0, but there are no API changes. Also, a quick reminder that SitePen will conduct a 2-day Dojo training course in Palo Alto in early December. […]
