Thanks for the tutorial. One thing I would like to note to everyone is that when you have widgets in your template, you need to be sure to define the widget’s properties either programmatically, or using the data-dojo-props attribute. If you define them declaratively (for example, adding the regExp property to a ValidationTextBox input) they will not be there when you test your application. It also applies to some widgets that use properties defined in the HTML specification, like the “name” property on a radio button (using dijit.form.RadioButton). You will have to put that in data-dojo-props. You can read more about this here: http://docs.dojocampus.org/releasenotes/1.6#parser I learned this the hard way, so I hope I can save someone trouble.
