So I've finally been given some time to begin learning my way around Dojo and the ArcGIS API as I was forced to customize the GeoForm to allow contcatenation and required fields involved in said concatenation. Now that my appetite is whetted I'm ready to start digging in and I have been. One of the ways was jumping onboard the Dojo group on Facebook and walking through multiple tutorials online.
During this process I was both introduced to the RC-2 for Dojo2 and now apparently Dojo2 is officially live.

And it appears to be amazing. So now the question is... do I continue learning Dojo 1... or go ahead and jump in to Dojo 2?
