Presentations

Star Search: Dojo Nano

The Dojo Toolkit, one of the original Ajax toolkits, has reinvented itself again through a series of improvements in modularity, performance, API improvements, adjustments for HTML5 and mobile platforms, just to name a few.

We'll cover all the major changes in Dojo 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, and the plans for 2.0. The newest enhancements will provide a stellar platform for building exceptional web apps. Starting at less than 4KB gzipped!

Beyond Dojo: The Rise of AMD

JavaScript does not have a built-in module system. Dojo for years has had a solution, but now this solution has been setup independent of Dojo and refined based on wider community needs. The result: it's possible to include modules from almost any toolkit or microtoolkit safely and efficiently.

In this talk, we will cover:

the history of AMD and JS modules
how modules work in the browser
how to create your own modules and packages
how to find third-party modules
how to use Dojo's new build tools for extreme optimization
how to use plug-ins for features like internationalization
implications for your project
real world users like the BBC and Twitter
examples combining projects like Dojo, jQuery, MooTools and more
what's next
