Delite first tutorial

background summary

what this project is for and where it's come from, Dojo history

Describe the issues historically seen with Dojo? Politically this could be sensitive but.. we are moving to a much less monolithic, more federated/loosely connected & interchangeable core framework which provides the core features for current and future web standards.

Migration from Dojo/Dijit here for existing users (link to the migration docs)?

Actually, what is delite for? What are the basic concepts seeing as decor has been created and there's still some widgets in delite (which are obviously legacy and yet to be ported). Is this a Dijit core? Can/should users use delite on it's own (by that I mean without deliteful, I think yes?)

why delite is important summary

For new and migrating users i.e. es5/6 and html5 etc concepts

aims

what this tutorial will end up showing (this needs to be in the form of a problem description/statement):

• Do a more advanced todomvc example? e.g.

  • a "shopping cart" store to demonstrate stores and 2 way binding
  • custom elements used for basic templating
  • handlebars used for more advanced templating
  • themeing
  • form elements? *
  • popups? *
  • scrolling? *
  • (*) not sure if these would be directly used by end users but why not?

• or do some other type of tutorial, a shopping cart?

  • flickerview? to be honest I didn't really like flickerview
  • a shopping cart?
  • a banking/e-commerce example? e.g. money transfers
