Matthew Russel published the next article from his series about Dojo Javascript library. In this article he tells about handling very large datasets and shoind the data in grids. He writes the following:

«It’s a given that you can use the grid to display relatively small data sets effectively in the browser and get the niceties of sorting, column resizing, etc. that come along with it. That’s cool and all, but there’s a practical limit to the number of records you can deal with at any given time, which eventually leads to the concept of paginating results.

Well, go ahead and forget about pagination; those days are finally over. Dojo’s grid works by lazy loading data as the grid scrolls. For a relatively small data set consisting of hundreds of records, lazy loading amounts to building out the DOM for a pre-loaded data set when you scroll. For example, if you had 100 records but could only view 20 of them at a time, you wouldn’t want to build the nodes for any of the records in 21 through 100 until you scrolled to that particular section. Sorting by a column and related tasks work in memory as expected for small data sets since you can effectively get things done in JavaScript. »

John Resig writes about one of main object oriented programming concepts in JavaScript Language — Inheritance. He writes:

«I've been doing a lot of work, lately, with JavaScript inheritance - namely for my work-in-progress JavaScript book - and in doing so have examined a number of different JavaScript classical-inheritance-simulating techniques. Out of all the ones that I've looked at I think my favorites were the implementations employed by base2 and Prototype.

Matthew Russel starting a new series of articles about Dojo javascript library. This articles contains a small tutorials that will helps to the the fundamental of Dojo library. Matthew writes:

Rather intresing an practical AJAX tutorial was posted on IBM developerWorks site. This tutorial consisst of two part. From the fist part of this tutorial tou will learn the basics of Ajax technology. Also it contains a lots of additional informattion and practical advices like as choosing the AJAX framework and IDE . You can read it here

For starters, version 2.0 of the Dojo Toolkit Module for Drupal has been released.
