Dashboard Widget Development In-Depth

Application • 35:02

The power of Dashboard comes from its widgets, which users see and use when Dashboard is invoked. Developing a widget requires working with bundles, property lists, and some combination of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. We explain all of this and walk you through the creation of several sample widgets, discuss optional features that may be implemented in a widget, and touch on native code integration through a widget plug-in.

Speakers: Andy Grignon, John Louch, Richard Williamson
