locally. More details on eventbrite. I'm coming down from up north for
this one and would love to meet up with anyone wanting to talk
javascript/ajax, in whatever shape and form you like it.

merry. Again, I'd love to meet anyone dojo-curious who can make it out
for the event.

What is Dojo anyhow? Dojo is an 100% opensource javascript toolkit, in
the family of YUI, jQuery etc. It provides a fast, extendable and
highly useful api for building responsive web UIs, with a package
system, animation system, standardized api for data retrieval,
powerful and accessible UI widgets, cross-browser charting, and lots
more. Dojo is server/framework agnostic, but has been adopted and
integrated with the Zend Framework, Django among RoR among others. Its
also seeing a lot of use on the Adobe AIR platform, and finding a
niche with rich mobile apps via phonegap
