About this Presentation
The complexity of advanced web applications becomes more tolerable with an event-driven approach. Learn more about using Dojo as a base for development of these applications.
Asynchronous, event-driven approaches are becoming increasingly necessary to solve advanced web application development issues. After the requisite “sexy demos”, this talk will show how Dojo provides a solid foundation for building such applications, with a focus on the Dojo event system, widget system. Some time will also be spent on user interaction issues that arise in the development of this type of web application.
