• Real World Dojo part 5: Custom Components

  Dojo has its own built-in system for creating your own server-side controls. It's (arguably) better to use that than, say, creating a .NET user control.... Posted Oct 28 2008, 04:47 PM by JamesAshley with | with no comments Filed under: coding, Not Dot Net, open source, AJAX, javascript

• Real World Dojo part Four: User Feedback

  You have to let the user know what's going on. That's one of the main points, isn't it?... Posted Oct 23 2008, 05:13 PM by JamesAshley with | with no comments Filed under: coding, Not Dot Net, open source, AJAX

• Real World Dojo part Three: AJAX

• Real World Dojo part One: Form Validation

  Real World Dojo, part One (Basic Validation) The Scenario: I’ve kind of been nibbling around the edges of Dojo for a while, but I’m at a place in this project where I really need to buckle down and learn it. Since I’m having so much trouble finding real... Posted Oct 14 2008, 05:18 PM by JamesAshley with | with no comments Filed under: coding, Not Dot Net, open source, javascript

• Manipulating the DOM with Dojo

  This is the area where jQuery rules the roost. Or so everything I've read tells me. So, how does Dojo stack up? Still running this in parallel with Kyle's series: Setting the contents of an element // Convenience function to hide query details...

• Selectors in Dojo

  I'm still going back and forth in my mind about dojo vs. jquery. So far, I've been able to table that question, but it's getting to a point where I won't be able to much longer. Kyle's recent posts made me think about writing up something similar about dojo, so I could have something a little more concrete to compare side-by-side....

• Net Neutrality

  I'm on an unrelated mailing list with several non-technical people. Every once in a while, the topics swirl around to Net Neutrality. Most people don't have enough background knowledge to even begin to understand the issues involved. This is my attempt to explain by analogy. This article isn't technical enough to be here, but it it's *way* too technical for that list. So it winds up here....

• Some Open Source Ajax Frameworks

• Some Initial Thoughts on Google App Engine

  More like observations, really. There's nothing here that's new or interesting, if you've been following it at all. But, if you've been mildly curious and haven't taken the time to really read anything at all, this may be worth your...

• First Impressions of Web2py

  It kicks ass. There's a video that demonstrates web2py and Google appengine that pretty much says it all. If you're like me, and you'd rather read a set of step-by-step instructions than watch a video, this is for you. (OK, this is actually...

• Initial Thoughts on Google App Engine

  If you haven't heard of Google App Engine by now, you've probably been living under a rock. I won't try to explain it, or even include any links. Go check out what google has to say about it: it's intriguing, at the very worst. It's...
