LAS VEGAS – At the IBM Impact 2011 conference here, IBM announced both Maqetta as well as the open-source contribution of its Maqetta HTML5 visual authoring tool to the Dojo Foundation.
Maqetta is an open-source project that provides WYSIWYG visual authoring of HTML5 user interfaces using drag-and-drop assembly, and supports both desktop and mobile user interfaces. The Maqetta application itself is authored in HTML, and therefore runs in the browser without requiring additional plug-ins or downloads. Maqetta is available under an open-source license. Ands users can download the source code and install it on their own server, customize the code to fit their needs and contribute improvements to the open-source project.

Building on our continuing series of Dojo Tutorials, learn about Creating Builds.
The build system is critical for any real web application. Build applications often load around 10x faster than development applications. Load time is a key factor in user experience. Dojo’s build system helps you create highly optimized resources by concatenating and minimizing JavaScript and CSS files. The build system is able to leverage the dependency declarations within JavaScript and HTML source files and the @import declarations in CSS files to create these builds with minimal effort and maintenance.

Next in our ongoing series of Dojo Tutorials, we’ll tell you about Layout with Dijit.
Creating dynamic and interactive layouts is a challenge common to any graphical user interface. We have a lot of ability to create layout with HTML and CSS. Where CSS leaves off, Dojo picks up with a set of extensible widgets as a part of Dijit – Dojo’s UI framework. In this tutorial, we’ll explain how Dijit addresses common layout needs and see how easy it can be to create even complex layouts with just a few flexible widgets.
Sound interesting? Check out the tutorial.
