Learning Java»rank: 32647by: Pat Niemeyer, Jonathan Knudsen

Dojo blurs the line between local, native applications and browser based applications; the browser becomes the user interface platform. 'Modern' browsers provide an incomplete, inconvenient, and incompatible programming environment, but Dojo eliminates these problems. While there are many JavaScript libraries available, most focus on just one thing (for example, effects libraries, perceived JavaScript omissions, or HTML widgets). Dojo addresses all of these functional ... |
