Storing data in arrays is a pretty common technique throughout various programming languages, and it’s very straight forward. Until you get to reading them, sorting, filtering and mixing them. A lot of times you have more complexity in your data and filtering them is a very usual task.

At the Ajax in Action we had four talks. Nikolai spoke about “Dojo and Adobe AIR” where he showed on an example how well dojo and AIR integrate. The second was “RIA/UI development with Dojo”, where he showed all about how the new layouting widgets in dojo 1.2 can be efficiently used.

The second was “Scaling AJAX apps”, where I showed some concepts and ways to make your AJAX app fast and scale better.
