Summer of Code

Dojo Coding Test

Submitted by rcoup on Wed, 03/12/2008 - 04:21.

The idea of our coding test is to assess where your strengths and weaknesses are so we can evaluate your Summer of Code proposals better and get an idea of which mentors might suit you best. Not everyone is expected to be strong in every area, but make sure you show off what you're good at and what you're passionate about!

Summer of Code

Pseudo 3-D Charting
The dojo javascript toolkit currently enables vector graphic representations in 2D. The proposed development entails extending the capability to support 3D pseudo rendering with an application for charting. This additional support will not only provide a better mechanism to display and interpret information, but will also enhance the audience experience.

Dojo.data.overdrive project

Submitted by Hiran on Thu, 06/28/2007 - 15:41.

Summer of Code

Overdrive is a datastore that can be used to access semi-structured data stored on a MySQL database via PHP. It will be using the underlying AJAX communication that is supported by the dojo APIs.

I looked through the existing dojo.data code and decided upon the architecture of overdrive. Overdrive will provide the functionlaity that is already offered by dojo.data API such as basic read write operations. In addition it will provide functions to overdrive specific functionality.
