Summary


In this chapter, we reviewed the core building blocks of any mobile ArcGIS web application. The ArcGIS API is built using the Dojo framework. We provided you with a quick overview of Dojo, including its modules, widgets, and plugins. You will see these again when we start coding. Though jQuery Mobile is not a part of our focus in this book, it was worth mentioning since it is a good alternative to Dojo. The Geolocation API and the Bootstrap framework that were introduced in this chapter have set the stage nicely for later discussion.

This completes the two important foundation chapters. Now it's time to move to the exciting stuff. Time to start coding. In the next chapter, we will introduce code using many of the elements discussed in this chapter.
