Create a Twitter AJAX Button with MooTools, jQuery, or Dojo
There's nothing like a subtle, slick website widget that effectively uses CSS and JavaScript to enhance the user experience. Of course widgets like that take many hours to perfect, but it doesn't take long for that effort to be rewarded with above-average user retention and buzz. One of the widgets I love is Twitter's "Follow" button. Let me show you how you can implement this functionality with three popular JavaScript toolkits: MooTools, jQuery, and Dojo.
Create a Dynamic Flickr Image Search with the Dojo Toolkit
The Dojo Toolkit is a treasure chest of great JavaScript classes. You can find basic JavaScript functionality classes for AJAX, node manipulation, animations, and the like within Dojo.

In DojoX you can find charting libraries, special data stores, vector graphic helpers, and much more.

Create a Simple Dojo Accordion
Let's be honest: even though we all giggle about how cheap of a thrill JavaScript accordions have become on the web, they remain an effective, useful widget. Lots of content, small amount of space.

The Beauty of dojo.require()
I've been working full time with Dojo for the past four months and one of my favorite parts of the toolkit is the dojo.require system. The dojo.require system allows you to asynchronously request Dojo modules within the current page without needing to adjust your core Dojo build or needing to go out and download the given plugin. dojo.require is quite comprehensive but I wanted to give you a taste of dojo.require and how it works on a very basic level.
