Show HN: Use Dojo to learn, build, and deploy web apps

The headline talked about using Dojo but the tutorial is 100% Sinatra and ROR. Is Dojo used in other tutorials or is the word Dojo just used because it is in the URL. The layout make it appear as if it is associated with the Dojo toolkit. I understand that Sinatra and ROR can be used with Dojo, but I feel the title and branding is misleading based on the fact that the tutorial contained no Dojo in it.

While I understand that this isn't about the Dojo toolkit nor the fellow who submitted the post to it here (Thanks!), I can't help but feel that the folks who created this service made a real blunder by naming this thing "dojoapp" simply because of it's uncanny naming resemblance to the Dojo toolkit.

Try to Google it; you get drowned in results to the toolkit, not their site. Mention it to anyone else and be sure about the resulting confusion. It's like creating a new service called BMWApp which then has nothing to do with the car...

The intro tutorial is great! Just the right mix of brevity/content, and totally convinced me to sign up.

Only suggestion - find a way to speed up the deployment process. It might just be the HN effect, but once I finish my first "app" - I want to see it in action, not stare at a spinner for a few minutes.

EDIT: Looks like you're deploying to heroku, so I see why it takes more than a few seconds. It might be nice to tweak your UI, to encourage people to go through a tutorial while they wait for a deploy (rather than staring at a spinner).

It was exciting. Yup, I sound like a complete dork, but for someone who just doesn't have the ability to pick up coding like he used to, this was great. A few explanations in the tutorial confused me from a complete novice standpoint, but I am really looking forward to the "Blog in 30 minutes"! Glad I signed up, and if I'm your target "customer" then feel free to email me if you want feedback, etc. I'd like to see something exactly like this for Objective C and developing iPhone apps.

I enjoyed going through those tutorials, and I think I know more about Ruby now! What's the time scale on further tutorials? The platform (including the ability to deploy apps quickly and easily) is great! I'd be particularly interested in the node.js tutorials that are tantalisingly listed on your site.

I really like this. It'd be great to see some Python tutorials though.

This is a great way to teach programmers a new framework or tool.

twitter bootstrap for the design win?

I LOVE IT!

Dojo has already lost the battle.

I used it for awhile and it is a cool framework. However, Jquery has it beat in terms of documentation (code and usage) and community support (I can find pretty much any component I need with Jquery).
