Vector Graphics with Dojo’s GFX
Vector graphics can have many advantages, including flawless scaling with maximum portability. The problem with vector graphic creation is that it can be difficult—but not so with Dojo’s GFX library. GFX provides a simple and flexible API (along with other utilities) for creating, animating, and managing amazing vector graphics.

As a part of our Free Dojo Support initiative, we received the following question from Ron about the best way to build a complex form:
The Question
I’d like to see a nice clean example of how to best implement a form inside a popup dialog (either dijit.Dialog or dijit.TooltipDialog), but with the complication that the form has various types of behavior such as the disabled status, visibility, and/or required status of fields changing based on changes to other fields. I have typically done this by subclassing dijit.form.Form and using a template to make use of attach points and events, but have not yet figured out the best way to tie that in with validating and handling the dialog submit through JavaScript (rather than a regular form submit). To add yet another wrinkle, can localization be added as well so that strings are not hard-coded into the template?

We’re 28 days away and as promised we’re releasing a tutorial everyday until DojoConf 2011! Here’s today’s tutorial!
Using Dojo Data
Dojo Data is the legacy data interface used to abstract data consumers (like widgets) from the concerns of data providers. While the new object store interface has superseded the dojo.data interface, there are a number of existing data stores that implement this API and is used by quite a few existing widgets. Here we will look at the dojo.data interface, see how data providers and widgets connect together, and learn how it can be adapted to the new interface.
Check out the tutorial.
