The day will revolve around hacking and discussions around the various topics that everyone is hacking on. The day will start with getting to know everyone and at 10:30 we'll open up the whiteboard to listing ad-hoc discussion groups that will meet to hack and discuss throught the day. Participation in any of the groups is entirely optional, but they provide a place for people thinking about the same problem to work on it and not miss other discussions that interest them. At about 5:30 we'll break for lightning demos. If you've got something cool to show, this is your chance but it'll have to be very short. 10 minutes tops (5 preferred). After the event, we encurage people to go out and grab dinner and beer!

AOL is graciously hosting Dojo Developer Day. If you would like to help sponsor Dojo Developer Day, please contact Dylan Schiemann (mail at dylans dot org).

## What is Dojo?

Dojo is the Open Source JavaScript toolkit that helps you build serious applications in less time. It fills in the gaps where JavaScript and browsers don't go quite far enough, and gives you powerful, portable, lightweight, and tested tools for constructing dynamic interfaces. Dojo lets you prototype interactive widgets quickly, animate transitions, and build Ajax requests with the most powerful and easiest to use abstractions available. These capabilities are built on top of a lightweight packaging system, so you never have to figure out which order to request script files in again. Dojo's package system and optional build tools help you develop quickly and optimize transparently.

Dojo also packs an easy to use widget system. From prototype to deployment, Dojo widgets are HTML and CSS all the way. Best of all, since Dojo is portable JavaScript to the core, your widgets can be portable between HTML, SVG, and whatever else comes down the pike. The web is changing, and Dojo can help you stay ahead.

Dojo makes professional web development better, easier, and faster. In that order.
