After reading this chapter, you should be able to:

• Understand where the general-purpose application dijits fit into the overall Dijit architecture and appreciate the special role that they play in designing a rich user experience

• Create application dijits in markup as well as JavaScript

• Understand the primary differences between when you should use Tooltip versus TooltipDialog

• Use the Editor to provide a control for entering and editing rich text

• Use Toolbar and Menu to provide a means of command and control for the user of your application

• Embed TooltipDialog into a DropDownButton

• Use a ProgressBar to display both determinate and indeterminate indications of progress to a user

• Use Dialog to provide a modal alert to the user or otherwise embed arbitrary content into the Dialog for the user to interact with

• Use InlineEditable s to empower the user with the ability to edit what otherwise appears to be plain markup on the fly

• Use the Tree dijit to display hierarchical information via an interactive display

In the next chapter, we'll cover build tools, testing, and production considerations.
