Overview of this book

Moodle is the best e-learning solution on the block and is revolutionizing courses on the Web. Using JavaScript in Moodle is very useful to administrators and dynamic developers as it uses built-in libraries to provide the modern and dynamic experience that is expected by web users today.The Moodle JavaScript Cookbook will take you through the basics of combining Moodle with JavaScript and its various libraries and explain how JavaScript can be used along with Moodle. It will explain how to integrate Yahoo! User Interface Library (YUI) with Moodle. YUI will be the main focus of the book, and is the key to implementing modern, dynamic feature-rich interfaces to help your users get a more satisfying and productive Moodle experience. It will enable you to add effects, make forms more responsive, use AJAX and animation, all to create a richer user experience. You will be able to work through a range of YUI features, such as pulling in and displaying information from other websites, enhancing existing UI elements to make users' lives easier, and even how to add animation to your pages for a nice finishing touch.

A typical need for installing this framework would be a situation where you wish to make use of a third party code, which has been written on top of the Dojo framework and it is either not possible, or it is impractical, to re-implement it as either native JavaScript code, or based on top of Moodle's preferred JavaScript library, YUI.

Getting ready

First, we need to obtain a copy of the Dojo framework file. Visit the Dojo website at http://dojotoolkit.org/, and navigate...
