Comment on Ask HN: What is your opinion on dojo framework?

Comments

First, the dojo docs are (or were last I checked) more or less garbage especially if you're expecting something really extensive like the jq docs. But I think its more than made up for in dojo by having awesome source code that's super clean with tons of comments and examples. That's basically how I learned it, just reading the src.

One thing I might suggest is that you don't go about using dojo like you would jquery or most other libs, its not really designed around the jq principles of simple abstracted api based on selecting dom elements, etc. Its really a JS Framework for building apps (with widgets, etc) in js. I was kind of like you, I never found any tuts or resources, other than the src code, so sorry can't really help much there.

good luck though i think dojo is a great library
