Dojo in Depth (Part 2)

New users are often intimidated by the breadth and depth of Dojo. In this talk we'll get into the guts of some of Dojo's advanced, but less well known, features. This talk will cover such topics as: JSON-RPC, in-page mashups with Yahoo APIs, alternative IO transport layers, non-browser runtimes, event-system magic, deployment optimization techniques, Flash and local storage, the undo stack, form validation, and functional programming helpers.

Alex Russel is Director of R&D at SitePen, a consultancy specializing in Dojo application development. Alex is also Project Lead for The Dojo Toolkit and serves as current President of the Dojo Foundation.
Prior SitePen's sponsorship of his full-time Dojo work, Alex helped improve the responsiveness and user experience of JotSpot, the application platform cleverly disguised as a wiki. Alex also has done stints improving the experiences for diverse and data-intensive web applications in business intelligence, security system reporting, and medical data entry and reporting.
