Comprehensive Dojo materials (without Domino)

Last time, I posted some introductory materials in learning Dojo, all of which are free. This time, I will recommend more comprehensive materials that are very good, but for a price. Actually, it is with these that I finally learn how to apply Dojo successfully to Domino.

This is the easiest to understand Dojo book -
Dojo: Using the Dojo JavaScript Library to Build Ajax Applications

After reading that book, or if you want to read more advanced topics, there are currently 2 Dojo books I find more advanced.
Mastering Dojo: JavaScript and Ajax Tools for Great Web Experiences
Dojo: The Definitive Guide

I already have a copy of the 3 books above. There is another upcoming Dojo book, but i still don't have a copy of that yet.
Practical Dojo Projects

If you decide to buy anyone of them, be sure to read the blog posts of the authors, if applicable. There, you will find great tips not found in the books, including some news and updates.

Lastly, be sure to check out and register in 2 forums that can also help.
First is the Notes/Domino forums in DeveloperWorks.
Here, you can read and ask about how other Domino developers implemented Dojo, or solved problems related to Dojo.

The next forum is the Dojo forum itself.
Here, you can read and post questions direclty about Dojo. And sometimes, you will also find Domino developers asking Dojo questions here.

Till my next post.
