Everyone,
Last night we finally got all the pieces to the dojo.E release finished and it is now online. There is quite a few things new in this release of dojo.E. We are also now making it possible to get the dojo.E code with the IMB, EDS and Nexaweb Server right from the dojo.E site. This is exciting because you can get started with dojo.E and IMB by download a simple zip file.
Just finished checking in the last of the updates (minus bug fixes) for the new Ajax IMB Client, after a week of straight coding and little else. The new version has been completely rewritten from the ground up. This coincides with Nexaweb’s upcoming release (in a month or so) of an updated version of the Ajax Client. The Ajax Client codebase will be completely updated and run over dojo 1.2. All the coding for these updates follow six principles:
One of the goals of the dojo.E project has been to bring some of the standards created by the W3C and others to developers for building their Ajax applications. A couple of weeks ago, I saw on Ajaxian.com that Firefox and Webkit are going to support XBL. Simply defined, the XML Binding Language or XBL is a way to create reusable components.
The New Release: dojo.E 0.2.4
Last week the dojo.E team updated the code base of the dojo.E project. Many things in the code changed from the first release. The focus of the 0.2.x release was to create a well defined architecture around the core concept of adding XML to dojo. In this light, we created a flexible and well thought out XML processing engine that can take XML embedded in a script tag or external to the page and process the markup based on configured tag and namespace handlers.
Charting is one of the more advanced components that an application developer has at their disposal. It may not be used in every application but it probably could be and should be. Why? Charting makes the consumption of larges amounts of data easier and quicker than their tabular counterparts. In the Web world there are a couple of ways to bring charting to your Ajax application.
HorizontalBoxContainer and VerticalBoxContainer is a pair of layout managers that allow multiple children components to be laid out either vertically or horizontally. This is similar to BoxLayout from the Java Swing toolkit.
I have spent the last few weeks building examples using XML on top of dojo, including an XML version of the mail application (you can see it here http://trac.dojotoolkit.org/ticket/5766).
