Hi guys, I'd actually like to plug the capabilities of the Dojo Toolkit. I work for SitePen, the company who's employees helped create the toolkit, and all I can say is that Dojo is pretty amazing as well. The implementation, focus and philosophy are a little different from jQuery, but it has similarly great capabilities and has a huge amount of support as well. A lot of my friends who do hardcore development swim happily in both. And of course, it's free and lovely.

I'll be moving up there pretty soon! -Damon Boston IxDA wrote: > Hi Folks, thanks to all those that came to our September event.
