|
30 The WRTKit tutorials guide you through the process of using the WRTKit user |
|
31 interface toolkit to build widgets. Even if you're familiar with widget |
|
32 development or a veteran HTML, CSS and JavaSCript developer, these tutorials |
|
33 will probably be useful to you as they focus on using the WRTKit to create |
|
34 and manage the user interface. |
|
35 </p> |
|
36 |
|
37 <p> |
|
38 |
|
39 There are three tutorials all in all and in each one we will take a look at one |
|
40 of the examples that are included with the WRTKit SDK. |
|
41 </p> |
|
42 |
|
43 <p> |
|
44 |
|
45 The first one is a gentle start where we will create the classic "Hello World" |
|
46 application but using the WRTKit for the user interface. This is a good starting |
|
47 point because it covers the basics of using the WRTKit, how to organize files, |
|
48 how to initialize the user interface toolkit, and such topics. |
|
49 </p> |
|
50 |
|
51 <p> |
|
52 |
|
53 The next tutorial is an actual useful widget: an RSS Reader. As with all WRTKit |
|
54 tutorials we will focus on the user interface portion of this widget, but you |
|
55 will also learn how to integrate a WRTKit -based user interface with data that |
|
56 has been pulled in using AJAX. Feel free to use this example widget as a basis |
|
57 for your own RSS Reader. |
|
58 </p> |
|
59 |
|
60 <p> |
|
61 |
|
62 In the third tutorial we'll create create a widget called "Travel Companion" |
|
63 in order to learn how to use the WRTKit to build complex widgets with multiple |
|
64 views, showing complex custom content, using timers to automatically update |
|
65 views in the background, as well as how to separate the user interface code from |
|
66 the back-end logic code and data. Since the tutorial is about how to use the |
|
67 WRTKit we will not actually create any real back-end logic but rather use a |
|
68 mock back-end that will give us data that looks real but is actually hard-coded. |
|
69 </p> |
|
70 |
|
71 <p> |
|
72 |
|
73 If you want you can complete the widget to make it work against actual data |
|
74 sources on the Internet. Since the user interface is entirely separated from |
|
75 the back-end logic you should be able to do this without touching any of the |
|
76 user interface code! |
|
77 </p> |
|
78 |
|
79 <p> |
|
80 |
|
81 When you go through the tutorials it could be a good idea to have your code |
|
82 editor open so that you can inspect the example widget code as you read about |
|
83 it. We will be talking a lot about the various classes and methods in the WRTKit |
|
84 so having the |
|
85 <a href="WRTKit_API_Reference-GUID-00e47c27-0a1a-443f-ae85-cf3381635170.html"> |
|
86 WRTKit API Reference</a> |
|
87 open is probably also a good idea. |
