Linda, Some tips I can provide are: Really understand how to find and read the online documentation for the ESRI JSAPI and Dojo. This helps you not reinvent the wheel when coding Start small, and create a few widgets for the base WAB. Our maps.simcoe.ca site(s) have over 1 year of work into it. Its not a small task as there is a lot of back end systems and programs to make it happen.  The front end is JS but there is just ask much work done in the back end to make things happen. Learn how to create on screen widgets All of the UI you see on maps.simcoe are essentially on screen widgets plugged into a WAB theme Think 'reusable' JS code - We write other helper classes to help widgets get the job done.  This can all be done in dojo Think 'reusable' CSS To keep the look and feel the same we have a base css classes all our widgets can utilize. Only use AMD no more dojo.foreach or dojo.byid Understand the entire config.json file for the WAB Use the out of the box widgets as a learning tool. All the code is there for you to see how things are done. To Start.... Download the WAB Create a bank App using the UI Maybe add a few widgets Find that app under 'arcgis-web-appbuilder-2.0\server\apps\' {some number} I re-name the number to 'dev' Open 'dev' into Visual Studio or your favorite editor and browse the folders and files...
