Many advanced Web applications which rely heavily on Ajax have difficulty in the development phase with squaring the mantra of progressive enhancement with the reality that CSS just isn't powerful enough. Dojo provides a middle ground which provides the strongest progressive enhancement tools available while still comprehensively addressing performance, flexibility, modularization, and reuse needs of large-scale teams.

In this session, many common application construction "gotchas" are addressed. Learn about many of the low-level tools which Dojo provides to help implement progressive enhancement, optimize scripts for deployment to ensure that pages load fast, and how to use many of Dojo's layout widgets to provide flexible solutions to hard application construction problems.

This session was recorded at The Ajax Experience conference in Boston, Massachusetts, September 29 - October 1, 2008.
