Most 2012 trend lists include 12 trends. (Get it? 12 in ’12. Of course you do.). Because we are not fond of adding unnecessary or filler content (read code), Dylan has come up with 11 trends for 2012.
1. Mobile
Mobile will gain even more momentum in 2012. There’s no doubt we will see many new APIs, development tools and capabilities in place to both build and install most any app as a web app rather than using native technology.
2. AMD
Following on the increasing emergence of microtoolkits in 2010 and 2011, 2012 will be the year everything becomes an AMD module, making it easier for Dojo, jQuery, MooTools and other toolkits to play nicely together.
3. Builders & Loaders
With so many modules, performance, loading and building will need to be optimized. Use of package management will become increasingly important.
4… Check out the rest of Dylan’s 11 Trends for 2012! And don’t forget that SitePen’s got your back when it comes to implementing efficient and scalable solutions. Contact us today!

There is so much existing information about the Dojo Toolkit that it can be challenging to know where to begin. The following is a Dojo curriculum (I use this term loosely) highlighting community resources and a logical path for self-learning the foundational parts of Dojo. If you understand the purpose of a variable and function, or you are new to Dojo, then this is for you.

SitePen is excited to announce Stocker, which demonstrates some of the more advanced capabilities of Dojo, including the newly released DataChart, the DataGrid, Data Store, Comet, Persevere, and BorderContainer. SitePen is also offering a one-day workshop where you will learn how to create Stocker yourself, but I’m here to give you a sneak peak of what Stocker is and how it works.
Stocker uses these technologies to emulate a stock monitoring application. We’re using made up data, but that’s actually more interesting. The Persevere server generates new stock items at certain intervals, and then pushes them to the browser with Comet. Then the Data Store updates its items and triggers an onSet notification. The DataGrid and DataChart are both connected to the same store, and are listening to that event. They then update their displays and show the stock items and their latest data.

Performing frequent training courses has given SitePen a chance to learn new ways to improve our training approach. Some concepts in JavaScript can be trickier than others and as we interact with the classes, we’re able to develop fun explanations for these tricky concepts. I’d like to share one of the explanations I developed at a recent training course.
A common phrase that results from these training sessions is “I didn’t know JavaScript could do that.” The first time we hear it is usually after we’ve covered how to work with functions in JavaScript, when we start showing how JavaScript allows us to use functions (in an approach termed functional programming). We try to conclude each part of the course with code examples that incorporate everything from the section we’ve just covered. At the end of our section on functional programming, we have the following example:
