In this tutorial we take a brief review over the things that we've seen how to work with inside of this project with the Dojo Toolkit. Now the first thing we tackled is pulling in our data from our database using the dojo.xhrGet. We also took a look at initializing the page using dojo.addOnLoad so that we initialize our page appropriately. Once we had added in our content here, we looked at how we could change content out dynamically by clicking on the links inside of our Blog entries, and that swapped out our contents, so I just clicked on Music and it changed it out there. Then we took a look at changing our list over here so that it would be a Fisheye and then allow us to click to change out our Blog information again. We also took a look at Animation for fading these items in and out so that we could tell that the transition of information was actually occurring. Then we also took a look at Animation for making our Blog entries size up so that we can read them a little easier, and whenever we click again it sizes them back down so that we can take a look at some of the other ones. And then we took a look at how we could set up our Slideshow over here, pulling in images from a JSON Document. We took a look at how this gives us the ability to stop and play the slides as well as move to the next slide. We then took the Slideshow functionality and expanded upon it by adding in a Lightbox function, which then stopped the Slideshow and whenever we closed that it would start the Slideshow back up again. Underneath that, we took a look at creating a simple survey that uses the Dijit Form Library by clicking on the Start Survey button we see that we have a nice little survey box, which actually can be dragged about the page. I click OK and it was posted appropriately. I got a nice little feedback telling me that it did so. So, what we've done is we've created a fairly robust application that could very easily be used on a number of different websites for a lot of different uses. So, that's looking at Dojo in a nutshell, and I hope you've enjoyed this project. I had a pretty good time creating it myself, and you know, I still think the Fisheye is a bit fun, so.
