I like to see a toolkit like dojo. There is a lot of work behind that, and this is given for free.
So I feel a little bit impudent to ask for more.
There is a lot of documentation done. For me its too much to find a starting point. In an older version you had a lot of Demos in. These have been very helpful for me to use dojo in my application. Some people (like me) use the trial and error, also known as take, copy, change to learn more about tools.
Is there a way to get the samples(demos) back ?

each project (dojo, dijit, dojox) stlll has a tests directory, and dijit still has demos, though the content there is limited. The focus for more comprehensive demos has been the book, and there is talk about an online 'demo engine'. We probably didn't port all of the old demos over, though there are some new ones. Is there one in particular you'd find helpful? The tests directories, I think, still have the simplest copy/paste type of code.
Thanks for the answer,
in 0.4x dojo had a lot of samples for grids. This included connection to different sources.
Some of them could be used directly without big changes.
I spent some time today searching in new tests-directory. At the end my knowedge was better than before, but still far away from what I need. Tests how I see them, are optimized for testing and not to be used as samples.
And some of them don't match documentation.
Compare with YUI(ok, a lot there is still beta) and you will see.

which is probably why you're unable to find the examples :-) There was dojo.widget.FilteringTable and I think there was another one... they have effectively been replaced by dojox.grid, which has a tests directory of its own. You might want to check that out.
Agreed, the tests directory is really not intended to provide the best examples. In the absence of documentation, it's where people have traditionally looked for examples, but I think the new documentation is becoming a good place to look for simple, annotated examples. Maybe the new demo engine being discussed would help you also.
Samples please

I'm searching for Grids and sources

The grid widgets in 0.4 are no longer supported
