we absolutely break out our modules. For example, in index.html, i call a "createAerialDownload" function     function createAerialDownload(){                                       var aerialDownload = new org.mymanatee.dijit.AerialDownloadWidget({                                         map: map                                     }, 'aerialDownloadDiv');                                     this.aerialDownload = aerialDownload;                                     aerialDownload.startup();                                     on(aerialDownload, "onError", function(error) {                                         console.log(error);                                     });                                 } and then in a seperate file i have my module require([     "dijit/Dialog", "dojo/_base/declare", "dojo/parser", "dijit/_WidgetBase", "dijit/_TemplatedMixin",  "dojo/_base/xhr", "dojo/_base/lang",     "dojo/_base/connect", "dojo/dom", "dijit/registry", "dojo/dom-construct", "dojo/query", "dojo/on","dojo/has", "dojo/dom-style","dojo/io-query","dojo/_base/array","utilities/latlong" ],         function(Dialog, declare, parser, _Widget, _Templated, xhr, lang,         connect, dom, registry, domConstruct, query,on, has,domStyle,ioQuery, array, latlong) { declare("org.mymanatee.dijit.AerialDownloadWidget",[_Widget, _Templated],    {     constructor: function(/*Object*/ params) {   },   _module: "org.mymanatee.dijit",     templatePath: require.toUrl("org/mymanatee/dijit/templates/AerialDownloadWidget.html"),                    postMixInProperties: function(){                        this.inherited(arguments);                 },   postCreate:function()   {    this.inherited(arguments);    parser.parse(this.domNode);    // Init the loader animation     },                           startup: function(){    this.inherited(arguments);                 try {                         if(!this.configData){                           xhr.get( {                                        url: "org/mymanatee/dijit/config/AerialDownloadWidget.json",                                        handleAs: "json",                                        sync:true,                                        load: lang.hitch(this, function(responseObject, ioArgs) {                                            this.configData = responseObject;

                                       }                                    });                                                      }    }    catch (err) { console.error(err); }                         connect.connect(dom.byId("exportAerial"), "click", this, "exportAerial");   },                 loadOptions:function(){                      var aerialYears = registry.byId('aerialDownloadYearSelector');                         array.forEach(this.configData.years, function(y){                             aerialYears.addOption({label:y.year,value:y.year});                         });                                                                                                  },                                         exportAerial:function(){                                            var format = "jpg";

Is your IIS directly exposed to the internet/ in a DMZ? if so then yes, there are some json hijacking concerns http://security.stackexchange.com/questions/7001/how-should-web-app-developers-defend-against-json-hijacking I for one (besides the obvious dont use IIS) would recommend installing your application behind a Web Application Firewall and making sure you are doing request filtering to guard against attacks and exploits We use mod-proxy http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_proxy.html and keep our tomcat server internal allowing things only as necessary. ...

why are you saving out the hombutton.js instead of just calling it? require(["esri/dijit/HomeButton", ... ], function(HomeButton, ... ){ ... }); ... View more

FWIW, I've found the opposite and I'm using jQuery in my "boilerplate" now. Is there any reason NOT to use it? So many 3rd party frameworks and plugins rely on jQuery, so it seems logical to use it...... For me the reasons not to use it were 1. One less library to load 2. One less framework to learn These reasons might not be valid for you.  There is no technological reason not to use it. ... View more

we use netbeans, so i don't have code assist.  To be honest, I think it has made (forced) me to learn the API more thoroughly. You loose a lot of handholding/drag and drop/gui/styling etc.. by not using Flex.  But you gain control and security.  Totally worth it to me. As far as the jquery/dojo thing, i found myself recently forcing jquery OUT of my code and doing everything in dojo.  Think I am better off for that as well, but i don't know jquery very well either.  I have yet to find something dojo could not do. Finally, We still support IE7.  I recently had to wedge client side pdf rendering and printing into ie7 without canvas elements.  I ended up using flashcanvas instead of excanvas due to image support.  If we ever get to full html5/js I will be a much happier camper. ...

Agreed on Javascript. Flex ruled and by security and being dropped on mobile anyway Silverlight was a non-started. The whole web is migrating to JS/HTML5.  I get calls (frequently) that start with "we our migrating our app from <flex/silverlight> to javascript and... " Just glad I got ahead of the curve. ...
