The Agile Ajax Blog Interviews Alex Russell, Creator of Dojo, the Ajax Framework

August 22, 2006; 06:11 AM
The Agile Ajax Blog (blogs.pathf.com/agileajax/) had a chance to talk with Alex Russell, one of Dojo's creators, about the Ajax framework's success and future.

A case can be made that Dojo is the single most influential framework in the Ajax universe. Any time we talk with Ajax developers about frameworks, the discussion always turns to Dojo. Even other framework developers take their hats off to the amazing work done by the guys at dojotoolkit.org, and many of them include Dojo as a part of their own frameworks.

The interview (blogs.pathf.com/agileajax/2006/08/and_interview_w.html) covers the origins and future of Dojo and the Dojo Foundation, security and Ajax, the challenges facing the Ajax community, competing frameworks, Google Web Toolkit and technologies to watch. Alex's comparison of Javascript and Java and their relative merits is very insightful.
