So there's a new MSIE web developer toolbar out-and-about. Like the last version, there's a lot of good stuff in there. It's not Firebug, but nothing else is. Anyway, it does lots of stuff you want, in particular, it replicates the fast-path for cache clearing that the Mozilla Web Developer Toolbar (that the MSIE one is a clone of) provides and goes it one better by promoting it to a top-level button.
And then it gives you a confirmation dialog. I shit you not.
Removing one click: good.
Leaving another (useless and impossible to disable) click in the web-dev fast path for a non-destructive operation (it's just a cache after all): stupid.
As things ramp up for the Comet Developer Day and the Dojo Developer Day(s), there's been a ton of activity in Dojo-land. Here's a selected sample:
- SitePen begins to offer Dojo Training to the public! Signup here. Since we employ a huge percentage of the committer base and fund significant new development on the toolkit you'll know you're getting it "from the horse's mouth".
- Shane O'Sullivan of IBM has made a first public release of his GUI Dojo build tool.
- The second part in the SitePen performance blog series is up (part 1).
- Dojo 0.4.1 blew past the 100K download mark (now at ~180K) and continues its march to becoming the most successful Dojo release ever
- And not to tease too much, but there's stuff coming down the pike that I'm tremendously excited about. More news on that after 3D2.
