Dojo Forum

If I understand the concept right then this is very cool!

You're writing C# code in standard classes that provide standard web page
functionality, by wrapping the dojo widgets (and more) so that you can
declare them in your C# class and handle the events in the C# code aswell?

If I wasn't so far down the road with my current project I'd take a look at
this approach. Maybe for the first big re-write :P

Derek.

That's essentially it. It seems a little counter-intuitive, dojo is a
client-side environment after all, so the performance is obviously going to
go down to do the round trip communications. But all the communication is
JSON, and for the many kinds of interactions, the user tends to be the
bottleneck anyways.

Thanks to Dojo, however, it's not difficult at all to drop down into the
javascript runtime and write some high-performance components when needed.

Plus, having direct access to databases, O/R mappers, full network stack,
etc. is a big plus to balance out the performance concerns.

This looks really great. The licensing is a bit unfriedly, is this a
result of the TinyMCE integration? If so, have you looked into the Dojo
Editor (and Editor2) widget(s)?

Also, can we blog it yet?

Alex,

Thanks for taking a look at it - I really appreciate it.

Licensing: The whole licensing thing is a bit intimidating. I'm open to
discussion on this (I suppose for future releases.) Originally I was trying
to raise some funding for this project, so I thought that doing this kind of
license model would be more attractive, but now I'm not so sure -- the
legal/business side is daunting. I'm much more interested in the project
succeeding, and people using it than it being a commercial success.

I'd love to use the dojo editor -- I'd much prefer to have a unified widget
set, but I ran into some problems with the 0.2.2 editors, maybe some of this
will work better in 0.3. I'd also like to normalize the slider.

Blog: Please, I'd be honoured :)

Safari: I know, I just noticed this a few days ago on my friends mac, I
don't normally have access to one. At least part of it is some quirkiness
with anonymous functions. I'm going to try and resolve those issues soon.
A lot of the javascript in my project is shameful, and I am embarressed in a
way to show it to y'all. It's a result of about 8 months of re-introducing
myself to the language, and it needs to be refactored badly.

cheers,

I personally view licensing as a tactic to acheive whatever it is you
want to get done. If your hope is to make money on the code with a
proprietary (better supported) version, GPL might be a good tactic. If
the goal is maximum adoption above all else, it might not be.

It is much better in 0.3.0. Have a look at dojo.widget.Editor2 in
particular.

I'll try to get to it today.

Regards

I'm leaning more and more towards maxium adoption. If it's a success, and
people like it, there are many ways to build on that and build a commercial
venture on top. If I go that route the AFL sounds like a good choice.

I'm itching to update emerge to dojo 0.3. I'm kind of tied up in other
projects for the next week or so, but hopefully I'll have it done sometime
in June.

thanks,
