We’ve added a [new Recipes section to CanJS.com](https://canjs.com/doc/guides/recipes.html) with example widgets that are useful starting points for learning more about CanJS.The first set of recipes is a file system navigator that [Justin Meyer](https://github.com/justinbmeyer) presented at [DoneJS Chicago](https://www.meetup.com/DoneJS-Chicago/) [last month](https://www.meetup.com/DoneJS-Chicago/events/237182487/).

![file navigator.gif](https://www.bitovi.com/hubfs/file%20navigator.gif)

We also recorded a [live stream](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7FJA0PzAgA) of building the widget!

Check out the [simple](https://canjs.com/doc/guides/recipes/simple-file-navigator.html) and [advanced](https://canjs.com/doc/guides/recipes/ajax-file-navigator.html) guides for building the file system navigator. The simple guide takes about 25 minutes to complete, while the advanced guide takes about 45 minutes to complete and shows how to make AJAX requests and use [can-component](https://canjs.com/doc/can-component.html).

We’ll be adding more recipes over time based on what we hear the community wants, so [let us know](https://github.com/bitovi/training/issues/new?labels=weekly-training-topics) what recipe you would like to see us cook up next!

If you have any questions or comments while going through the recipes, please join us on our [forums](http://forums.donejs.com/c/canjs) or [Gitter chat](https://gitter.im/donejs/donejs)!
