2.0 out of 5 stars
Very simple, not too useful,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Windows Vista Sidebar: Your visual blueprint for developing cool gadgets for the Windows OS (Paperback)
I am a long time programmer, and familiar with procedural languages and JavaScript. I've written Yahoo widgets thus I am familiar with the concepts, so how hard could the extra HTML, DHTML, XML, CSS, AJAX be?
Answer? Immensely, and this book does not help. There are a number of examples, one on every page. They are simplistic, not extendable, and frequently useless. There is no summary of extensions, commands, events (the usual stuff one needs in a reference) and no discussion worth a hoot of the g:Image, g:Background etc objects provided by Microsoft. If you are not already an experienced web page programmer, DO NOT get this book as it is incomplete. If you are a web page programmer, DO NOT get this book as it is too simplistic. There is, unfortunately, not too much out there yet, but I don't think this will be the answer you seek. |
