In this in-depth introductory tutorial by Web application developer Igor Kusakov, you
learn the basics of developing HTML widgets using Dojo; including how to refer an
image, how to add an event handler to an HTML page, and how to handle composite
widgets. Also, discover some important differences between plain old JavaScript-style
coding versus using Dojo, and get tips for handling complex issues inherent in Web
application development.
Note that this tutorial does not address the overall architecture of a Dojo application or
the various Dojo packages. Since the Dojo toolkit is rapidly evolving, many issues
discussed in the tutorial are subject to change.
