Dojo Toolkit Tutorials

Website developers wishing to jump onto the AJAX/Web2 bandwagon are faced with a bewildering plethora of toolkits that claim to render the task easier. As is so often the case there is no single solution that can be deemed to be the "best". For an excellent overview of the criteria one needs to bear in mind when making a choice see Exploring Ajax Runtime Offerings by Gary Horen.

This section of ExplainThat! is devoted to one such toolkit - Dojo. The Dojo toolkit is lightweight, comprehensive and opensource. However, it has - at first sight - a steep learning and impossibly voluminous documentation. The articles and quick references offered here will, we hope, make the task of using Dojo far less daunting.
