Using third-party JavaScript libraries in Alpha Five Version 10

Bob Moore, one of our Alpha Five Version 10 beta testers, recently put together this video to demonstrate how he has used third-party JavaScript libraries in a v10 application. This is a BIG DEAL, because it demonstrates how Alpha Five Version 10 can be easily extended using open JavaScript libraries.

In the video, Bob uses some JavaScript libraries from DOJO -- one of the MANY open source JavaScript tool kits -- to extend the functionality of an Alpha Five Version 10 grid. This is just one more example of the increased openness of Version 10, made possible by its rich new event model. Enjoy the video!

This is a simple example that anyone should be able to follow. Using the same approach, any third-party external JavaScript libraries can be used to add scheduling, specialized image viewing, stock market data feeds, and much more to Alpha Five applications.
