Addison-Wesley Professional Dojo, Using the Dojo JavaScript Library to Build AJAX Applications (2009)
The primary goal of this tutorial is to show you how to use the Dojo Toolkit to introduce some common Ajax features into your web pages.The tutorial provides instructions for picking the low hanging fruit. In other words, it focuses on the features that are fairly easy to implement and yet provide a substantial return in increased usability.This tutorial is not meant to demonstrate every feature of Dojo, nor is it intended to exhaustively cover the features that we implement together.You can think of this tutorial as addressing the first phase of web site enhancement. Another main goal of this tutorial is to implement features in the plainest way.Although most Dojo features can be implemented either declaratively (in HTML markup) or programmatically (using JavaScript), we’ll first focus on the declarative technique given that most web server-side developers are more familiar with HTML markup than with JavaScript. Of course, we will also use some JavaScript as the glue to tie things together.
