Hi Deepak. Here are my answers as bets I can;

1) Dojo is a complete Ajax toolkit which can be used to do anything from adding a nice-looking calendar widget to a page, to create a dynamic fat client in a web page using 2d graphics, layout managers, type-ahead comboboxes, trees and sortable, skinnable datagrids.



2)

3)

Don't use portlets. Use a separate client (in Dojo, for example) with clear channels to specific urls for rpc and data on the server. If you absolutely must use portlets, see;

4)

Dojo is a framework which is written in JavaScript in the same way that Spring is a framework written in Java.

5)

Advantages: A comprehensive, smart and opinionated toolkit which guide you towards better modularization of client-side logic.
Disadvantages: The number of features are large and can be hard to grasp, also dojo.data, the data abstraction is a bit complex.

6)

Dojo is very secure indeed. A lo of effort has been put into securing cross-domain access, hardening JSON data transfers, and other things.

7) Heavens, no! And no book does, that is in print today. As a matter of fact, my book is the only one to cover certain interesting layout manages and widgets in the dojox (experimental) branch. But a truly *full* book would easily go over 1000 pages and take a while to write.

Cheers,
