In Ankhos, we display a lot of information in different places, the most comprehensive of which is the patient’s calendar. I’ll talk about what we put on the calendar, what it looks like, and one of the tricks we have used to make it very fast.

January 8, 2010What would Google do? I ask this question a lot, and for good reason. Google is one of the most successful companies in human history. I use apps like Google mail calendar and chat every day. For me, it is logical to seek out and learn from such a great company. So, I ask myself, what has Google done that can help me write this software?

January 29, 2010One of the neat things about the dojo toolkit is the support for cool widgets like the right-click context menu. We have a screenshot of how we are using it in our application past the break.
We are using Dojo for our javascript framework. It works very well in most browsers without too much special-case programming. The biggest disadvantage that Dojo has is it’s horrendous documentation. Nearly every official page is marked ‘out of date’ and the automatically-generated API documentation contains virtually no information other than method names.
That said, two books that have been indispensible (especially when the internet is out) are O’Reilly’s Definitive Guide to Dojo and Mastering Dojo. Both provide detailed discussions of design philosophies and go into how dojo leverages the idiosyncrasies of javascript to create easily-maintainable code (not a trivial task in javascript).
I really like Dojo, but most of the other competing frameworks have better documentation. Anyway, on to the screenshot…
