Question

How do I connect Javascript API to my ArcGIS Server?

I'm new to ArcGIS and had been struggling with ArcGIS for a week. The information across the Internet is scarce and I urgently need your kind help and wise advice...

The ArcGIS API for JavaScript has lots of information and samples to get your started.

Check out the following resources:

* Build your first application guide‌
* Create a map (sample)
* Dynamic map services (sample)
* Feature layers (sample)

The last two dot points get into using your own ArcGIS server data on a standard basemap.
