The purpose of this tutorial is to provide a starting point for users who are new to Dojo. Whilst every effort is made to introduce as much as possible about Dojo, it is impossible to include more of the detailed information since to do so would be counterproductive and confusing to new users. For more information on the concepts introduced here, please see the links to other resources at the end of this document (Finding More Resources).
The goal of Dijit is to provide a set of basic widgets which support theming, accessibility, and globalization. The widgets and widget infrastructure have been moved into a separate subproject called "Dijit" and vastly streamlined and with a new directory structure.
Starting with the 0.2 release, you can use namespaces for attributes and class declarations to declare the dojo type. This feature was removed after the 0.4 release due to performance issues in the parser. Going forward, supplemental DTDs are required for validation.
Perhaps there is an extra comma at the end of a list. For example:
Or:
var foo = [ 1 , 2, 3, ];
Or:
It stands for "a name that won't result in Microsoft's lawyers sending C&D's to Alex".
From Alex Russell: Actually, I was uncreative enough to name my last toolkit "netWindows" so this go-round we actually took a vote. Leonard Lin suggested "Dojo", and it won the vote. It doesn't really stand for anything.
We're different from closed source vendors because we appropriate random words out of *other* languages ;-)
