It takes a little time to understand, as does any powerful toolkit, and it is still very much bleading edge. You need to be prepared to delve into the code, since the documentation, whilst improving, isn't always all you might hope for. You also need to be prepared to update your code when you update dojo, though not so much now as before. In general it's a nice toolkit, and JavaScript is now a rather nice language. Combined with Catalyst, Template Toolkit and DBIx::Class (or the equivalent in your favourite framework) you can almost stop worrying about the web stuff and the database and start concentrating on your application. Well, that's probably pushing it a bit, but things are certainly an awful lot better than they were ten or even five years ago. -- Paul Johnson - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pjcj.net _______________________________________________ Ldsoss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ldsoss.org/mailman/listinfo/ldsoss
