Dojo 1.1.1 Tutorial for Domino below 8.5

Last time, I posted about some Dojo books that you should invest in, if you're serious about Dojo. Now, I want to discuss where my tutorial will be applicable.
Dojo 1.1.1 will be built into Domino 8.5 as you can see here. So this Dojo tutorial is meant for Domino versions below 8.5. I'm actually using Release 7.0.2. This tutorial will also work for version 8, since I'm only using code compatible with Release 8. This tutorial might also work for version 6/6.5 because, for example, the formula @WebDBName, which is heavily used in this tutorial, was introduced in Release 6. This tutorial is not applicable for Release 5 and below, unless you could replace the formula and lotusscript codes specific to Release 6 and above.
For information related to Domino 8.5, you may read it here.
In this tutorial, I will use heavily the Dojo Grid 1.1.1 as the replacement of the Domino View.
Dojo 1.2 will be released soon. But the Grid in 1.2 will be different from the Grid in 1.1.1. So our Grid code will not work in 1.2. Thus, this tutorial is specific to Dojo 1.1.1 only.
In the future, I may update this tutorial to reflect the latest version of Dojo.
Until next time.
