Introduction
Dojo provides a lot of power and attempts to make it digestable in three major layers: Dojo Core, Dijit, and DojoX. This book serves as a guide to these layers, introducing concepts as you need them and working downward from high-level usage to getting your hands dirty in building your own widgets, custom namespaces, and unit tests.
As you'll see, Dijit and DojoX build on the solid foundation that Dojo Core provides for all Dojo applications. With Core and Dijit locked into stable APIs and a heavy QA, i18n, and accessibility process many edge-of-the-web features for which Dojo is known are developed in the looser, more organic DojoX project. Throughout the book we will show you how these parts build on each other and use the infrastructure each provides to elegantly solve user experience problems which until now have been difficult for browser-based UIs to address.
Thanks for checking out Dojo and the Dojo Book. If things aren't clear in the book, just comment on the book page in question and we'll try to improve it. It's your applications that have inspired us to build Dojo and the stories of people improving user experiences with the toolkit keep us going, and it's with your help that we are evolving this book.
