SVG Open 2007 slides on DojoX GFX

As promised I published both my slides I prepared for the SVG Open 2007 — a 30-minute keynote and a 2.5-hour session.

I delivered the keynote talking about the current landscape of the browser-based interactive vector graphics, gave a short overview of DojoX GFX, and announced the completion of two Google SoC projects: GFX 3D (student: Kun Xi), and 3D Charting (student: Neil Joshi). Of course some demos were shown as well.

Today, Greenplum and SitePen announced the contribution of the new Charting engine to the Dojo Toolkit. Originally designed as the foundation for the Greenplum Monitor--a browser-based database monitoring application to be released later this year--the Charting engine is a cross-browser way of creating very complex charts easily, that can be updated on a regular basis. Some of the features include:

Chart in IE

While I'm at it...the Chart widget is working in full right now in Internet Explorer: check it out. While there's some major refactoring going on with it right now, it should remain stable enough for use in the following browsers: Firefox 1.5+, Opera 9+ and Internet Explorer 5.5+/Win. Current chart types include line, bar (series), area (added today, will be there tomorrow), scatter, and bubble. The only known issue is with Opera 9 and the bubble chart (apparently it doesn't like some attributes).
