So A Gadget and a Widget Walk into a Bar: Extending IBM Connections with OpenSocial Gadgets and IBM iWidgets
IBM Connections is an enterprise social network, which means
it's also a "container" for OpenSocial gadgets and other kinds
of widgets. Learn about the OpenSocial standard, syntax, simple and complex
examples, and when to use each technology. We'll cover development from
Notepad to deployment (well, Eclipse...more about that later). Discussion
topics will include mobilization of gadgets, Notes/Domino integration,
OAuth and more. We'll touch on IBM iWidgets and explain when it's still
appropriate to use them. After this session you'll have a better understanding
of gadgets and widgets - how, when and where you can use them to enhance
IBM Connections.
