Grab the code!
When I started looking at Nokia’s Web Runtime (WRT) I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to get a functional UI up and running, particularly when compared to native S60 development. However, there didn’t seem to be many end-to-end tutorials that took you through the steps needed to create a widget.
Sometime ago, when I was first getting into Silverlight development, I came across Scott Guthrie’s 8-part tutorial which walks the reader through all of the tasks needed to create a Digg Search Client using Silverlight 2 and Visual Studio 2008. I thought it might be an interesting exercise to create an equivalent tutorial using the Nokia WRT & Aptana Studio.
The next five posts in this blog will attempt to give you a taste of how easily and quickly you can create something useful with WRT.
The five parts of the tutorial are listed below.
- Part 1: Creating a “Hello World” widget with Nokia WRT & Aptana Studio
- Part 2: Structuring the Digg Client UI
- Part 3: Requesting data from Digg and displaying the results
- Part 4: Refining the UI
- Part 5: Installing the widget on your phone
The code for each part of the tutorial can be found by following the “Grab the code!” link at the top of each post. Note that the code link in this post and in part 5 is for the completed widget, included the packaged widget, ready for deployment to your phone. The link in part 4 has the complete code, but does not include the packaged widget.
