Recommended learning path to developing widgets

The path to learn how to create your own widgets quickly is described.

One of the easiest ways to learn how to do something is to watch someone else first who has already done what you want to do. We suggest that you follow this path. Begin by working with some sample widgets that have already been created and are provided for learning purposes. Afterwards, build your own.

The recommended way to learn how to develop a widget, then, is as follows:

  1. Deploying the sample widgets: Learn how to deploy the sample widgets to a runtime on a server.
  2. Registering the sample widgets: Learn how to register the sample widgets with a server.
  3. Working with the sample widgets: Learn how to create a business space and a page. Then add the sample widgets to your page and work with them like a user would.
  4. Process for developing your own widgets: After you have worked with the sample widgets, this section describes the steps to develop your own.
