New to Javascript API

[MANESK]

Hi ,

I'm new to Web Applications... I'd like to know the merits and Limitations of  Javascript API compared to SilverlightAPI..
Could anyone suggest some good resources for starting Javascript API with Arcgis ....


Thanks and regards

Manu,

If you already know some html/css and javascript, I would start here. Click on create your first map, to get an idea.

Also make sure to check out dojo.

Since I didn't know much about html/css and javascript, I started at code academy to learn the basics.

You can also look at the sticky, with more useful links.

Hope this points you in the right direction!

ESRI's own guidance now is that you should move to HTML5 & the Javascript API. Microsoft hasn't said anything about Silverlight's future with the exception that it will support it as a product until 2021 or so.
