Dylan travelled to IUT, a modern technical university in Béziers, France, to present the keynote talk at Web-5.  Over 70 people attended his AMD and stores presentation.   The audience was highly engaged, asking a wide range of questions and Dylan was honored to have been shown brief demos of apps that were re-written using Dojo! Next event stop for Dylan is London, England on April 10th for the London Ajax User Group.  With James Thomas, Dylan will present a pair of talks on AMD.

The 2012 ESRI Developer Summit is attended by 1,700 developers, half are attending for the first time and thirty percent are from international locations! Dylan continues to mingle with like-minded Dojo enthusiasts from around the world, including people from the US, Canada, UAE, Japan, England, Germany, France, Switzerland, Sweden, Australia, New Zealand, and the Netherlands!  The conversations at ESRI Dev Summit are confirming what we already know – Dojo is worldwide! Yesterday, Dylan presented Top Ways Dojo Can Improve Your Mapping App to a standing room only crowd!  Using an iPad, iPhone and MacBook Pro to present the talk and demo, Dylan was able to accurately showcase the cross-platform open web capabilities of Dojo.   We’ve posted the presentation and encourage you to take a look. SitePen will answer any questions you have about Dojo and mapping.  Contact us to learn more.

Dylan arrived in Palm Springs on Saturday with hundreds of other ESRI Partners just in time to participate in the Jim Christoffersen Golf Classic.  The four-player shamble event took place on the south course at the Indian Canyons Golf Resort.  Dylan had the honor of golfing with the founder of ESRI Japan, Chiharu Masaki, and meeting many ESRI partners from around the world.  The five hour event was enjoyed in the almost perfect Palm Springs weather, and Dylan reports that his golf game “wasn’t that bad”.

Dylan has a full schedule of events from March to May!  We are excited about the awesome opportunities we will have over the next couple of months to support our clients, teach more Dojo, and, hopefully, meet you! If you will be attending any of the events listed, and want to chat with Dylan while you’re there, send us a message.  We will do everything we can to make your meeting happen. SitePen is proud to be a Platinum Sponsor for this event.  In addition to supporting ESRI through our sponsorship, Dylan will be delivering a conference presentation and teaching a 1-day Dojo Workshop! It is a busy schedule, but don’t worry, Dylan will also be golfing while he’s there.

We hear it a lot. You want to learn Dojo, especially now that Dojo 1.7 is released, but you don’t know how to ask your boss.

Hot on the heels of the Dojo 1.7.1 release, we are excited to officially publish SitePen’s 1.7-specific updates to not one, not two but ALL 55 Dojo 1.6 tutorials. As you can guess, this was no small feat given that Dojo 1.7 is loaded with significant changes that encompass best practices on the road to 2.0.

Most 2012 trend lists include 12 trends. (Get it?  12 in ’12.  Of course you do.).

Welcome to 2012 – The Year of Dojo!  We are expecting an amazing year! Make SitePen your one stop shop for all of your web application needs: Dojo workshops, JavaScript support and web app development.  Together, with SitePen, you will meet your 2012 goals!  When you’re happy, so are we.

If you’ve been reading about Dojo 1.7, the first thing you’re probably wondering is, what is this AMD thing that everyone is talking about? Check out Dylan’s post at the Dojo Toolkit blog to “Learn more about AMD!”. In addition to the useful links Dylan provides, you can also learn more about AMD at a SitePen Dojo Workshop.
