Rating: I'm trying my best to be respectful with my remarks here, but this is not worth 9 bucks. It offers absolutely little. A "Hello World" widget? Are you for real? I didn't get the impression that the author actually knows dojo. Seems like he/she copied the example from somewhere else. Maybe if you don't know HTML, Javascript or when you hear the word Dojo you think of karate, then you'll find these 55 pages useful. For the rest of us, it's a disappointment.

Hey Sim, Sorry you didn't like the Short Cut. I will point out though, that if you had taken a look at the table of contents, you might not have been so surprised to find out what you were getting. The entire point of the ShortCut was to work through the *fundamentals* of creating a custom widget. Sounds like maybe you have a slightly emotionally charged response? Maybe it wasn't marketed properly? At any rate, I wish you well in your Dojo endeavors.
