In addition SitePen’s various commercial Dojo support and Dojo workshop options, there are a number of ways to find helpful information on your own. Dojo has a large community of developers and hobbyists all across the globe that are willing to assist with problems and offer guidance. Many tutorials and examples exist and are ready to be found, you just have to look.

Here are some vital community resources available to assist you in your Dojo learning, and some hints to ensure success:

Dojo Search

Search first, ask later. A quick stop at the dojotoolkit.org search page usually turns up lots of commonly encountered problems. The search engine has options to help you target specific resources in the Dojo community, like blogs, forums, or archived mailing lists.

Dojo Forums/Mailing List

If you are unable to find any discussion or book entry already, start a new topic in the integrated Dojo forums/mailing list.

It helps to provide examples contained within code tags, and to politely state your question. If you have tried other methods and failed, mention them as well. The more information you provide in your thoughtful, research questions, the more likely someone is going to quickly be able to assist you with a meaningful response.

You may also sign-up to the Dojo mailing list to subscribe to all posts.

There are several thousand subscribers to dojo-interest, so civility is expected of everyone.
