Dojo Resources (updated) – How to solve issues & build w/ dojo.
Though dojo is an amazing javascript framework, it’s complexity is mirrored by its various documentation sources. Erick Fleming and I have been working with dojo and some of the more recent additions. This is what we’re using:
1. docs.dojocampus.org : Main documentation
This is where the main documentation for dojo can be found, search is good but must be dead on – use google :site docs.dojocampus.org if you don’t know exactly what you are looking for.
- There is also a doc-staging.dojocampus.org that has some more recent information – use cautiously.
2. redesign.dojotoolkit.org/ : redesign of the api.dojotoolkit.org
We don’t use the existing api.dojotoolkit.org site very much. The redesign site is better.
> But you may need to switch to OLDER versions (drop down)
3. Check for bugs at http://trac.dojotoolkit.org/
You can find up to date & tracked bugs, status, etc.. on this site. Very helpful when you are having *strange* issues.
> Also be careful if you are using a CDN, sometimes the patches have not made their way to the CDN’s and you need to use the latest build (e.g. a local copy)
4. Check out tests at http://archive.dojotoolkit.org/
Here are were you can find tests of the various widgets in action – helpful for seeing what works, how it works etc…
This is an amazing site / amazing test suite… check it out just for fun (if nothing else).
