How to draw dotted circle in Inkscape?
I am pretty new to graphic design world & obviously Inkscape too. I just need to draw a simple circle with dots in Inkscape. I have tried all the options in the stroke style section, but wasn't successful. I have searched online about this, but found only a workable solution here. But I think that is complicated solution to do just this simple job. Is there any other easier way to draw a simple circle with dots? I really hope there is something.
Thanks in advance.

I agree that the link you've provided uses an unnecessarily complex method. The project you seek is called polar array in some CAD software. Using "inkscape polar array" provided many results, one of which is the SEGD resource:
How to create these rotated clones?
In the linked answer, the responder used large circles as his object, but you can use anything created in Inkscape. It's an easy matter to resize his hula hoops to dots.

You could use a pattern along a path effect.
Here's an example. The pattern itself was simply a small circle (shown top left), which was copied to the clip board, then applied as a pattern to a larger circle:

Could you please describe the steps more briefly? I am quiet new to design & Inkscape. So it would be really great if you do that. :)

@tuxtu GDSE isn't really a tutorial on demand site. I have included a link at the bottom of my answer so you can find out more about the pattern along a path functionality, and also you can look up tutorials by searching that term.
