Mastering Dojo
Over the past couple of years we’ve seen new technologies redefine the rules of server-side web app development. It’s the client’s turn. Get ready to throw out your current “customs” of client-side development. With Dojo, we’re entering a new era of browser-based applications.
Dojo is a set of tools that helps you build better browser-based applica- tions. Dojo is built mostly using client-side JavaScript, and it expands the capabilities of the modern browser (and even Internet Explorer) far enough that the line between local, native applications and browser- based applications has all but disappeared.
This is a pretty significant statement. It means that browser-based (and, therefore, web-based) user interfaces can be made indistinguish- able from those included with the best local, native applications. And it means that the user interface of local applications can be implemented in the browser rather than through one of the heavy, platform-sensitive, and complex native GUI frameworks (Windows, Tk, Qt, Fox, AWT, SWT, Swing, Cocoa, and the rest).
