When I read about Dojo being loosely coupled with the Zend Framework, I really wanted to try out Dojo, however, as there was almost no documentation available, it took me far to long to produce a complete functional screen with some buttons, a grid, a form, etc.
When I heard about Ext, I also gave that a try and within a couple of hours I was already adding my own functionality to the Ext widgets and could really start thinking about how to build a huge web-based app with Ext.
So now, I’ll stick with Ext, even though I’m using the Zend Framework and would have loved to use Dojo therefor… It’s just not as complete as Ext is. Maybe at the core Dojo is better, but hey, all I’m looking for is something understandable that gets the trick done.
The Dojo Toolkit has been around for over four years, and has undergone significant changes, both big and small, in becoming a great JavaScript toolkit. This article debunks myth and outdated assumptions (both fair and false) applied to Dojo over its four plus years of development.
