About this Presentation

Learn how the new dojo.storage system can allow web applications to persistently and securely store large amounts of data.

Web applications have been constrained by the 4K limit of cookies for years. Learn how the new dojo.storage system can allow web applications to persistently and securely store large amounts of data. Developers will be shown how to use the dojo.storage API; example applications that use these APIs, such as a web-based word processor that persists its file's locally rather than on a server; and details of how dojo.storage is internally implemented.
