Intuitive Animation Toolset


The animation framework in Dojo is very flexible, but because of that flexibility, using it is not a trivial task for the common web programmer. The animation system works well for the JavaScript-savvy, but what if a Dojo beginner wants to add a simple animated effect to an element on the page? What if he wants to make that animation toggle? Most JavaScript animation systems because of their modularity and flexibility. There are already tickets on this topic, and I intend to solve the problem of "stale values" and any related conflicts between two or more animations acting simultaneously on one object.

Right now, I'm still getting familiar with the Dojo framework and community. Since the quarter doesn't end until June 5, I'll be balancing school and this project for awhile, but I look forward to overcoming these challenges, since that's what makes coding so much fun!
