One of the Web Runtime articles I’ve recently published became Featured Article on Forum Nokia Wiki:
Mobilising websites: building a WRT widget for the Forum Nokia website
This week’s featured article, Mobilising websites: building a WRT widget for the Forum Nokia website, is written by Jappit.
With the increasing popularity of widgets, websites can now be experienced as products optimized for mobile devices. The necessary user interaction is kept down to a minimum while the the information is as rich as possible and can be accessed in the most efficient and intuitive way.
This article analyzes the general development process of a widget using the Forum Nokia Community website as an example. From navigation and user interface to obtaining the information and updating the widget, the material does an excellent job of summarizing all the steps required to create the application.
Read the article to see how you can create a widget for your website taking the Forum Nokia Community site as an example.
Feel free to read it, and to send me your feedback!
