Rawld Gill, an ALTOVISO principal consultant, coauthored
the first book on Dojo. This is still the only book that includes an
in-depth description of several of Dojo's powerful subsystems (for example, the loader and build system). Buy
it from Amazon here.
backdraft
A Javascript framework for building browser-hosted GUIs 100% within the browser--no plugin,
no server-side programming--with all the awesomeness of a native app, but without all the pain.
bdLoad
a CommonJS AMD-compliant, script-injection Javascript module loader that's very small (about 3.5K),
yet includes
has.js integration, rich-debugging
features, and other unique capabilities.
bdBuild
a program to compile a web app into an optimized set of resources for fast loading; includes module
bundling, Dojo pragma processing, has.js folding,
generalized replacements, and other important features.
