Screencast Widget tutorial
I created to screencast of how to build a widget and how to upload it
to the wookie server.
Both screencast are directed to users, who have never build a widget.
You can learn
- what files you need
- what content you can add
- how to build the widget
- how to run it on a wookie server
Take a look here:

The best way to test a new widget is to go to the View Widget Gallery
option from the front menu screen, and click "demo". Otherwise you
won't get the correct widget instance so things like
widget.preferences won't work. Otherwise, really nince :-)

Hello Ross and Scott,
thank you!
@Ross: I was actually thinking of doing a screencast showing the
development of widgets using ant to build the widget skeleton. Time
permitting, should I add a screencast tutorial section to the wookie
incubator page?
@Scott: Thanks for the tip. I will try a newer version of the wookie
server to test the demo functionality. By now I am working with
version 0.8. With this version I could not find a way to demo it. See
here: http://wookie.kmi.open.ac.uk/wookie/webmenu/WidgetWebMenuServlet?operation=LISTWIDGETS
Best,
Thomas

I intended to add a link to the "building widgets page", but I haven't
done so yet and am about to leave the connected world. if someone has
the time...

Definitely - really nice, I particularly like the bit highlighting
what all the bits of config.xml are for.

Definitely - really nice, I particularly like the bit highlighting
what all the bits of config.xml are for.

These screencasts are great Thanks for the contribution.
Note that the process you demonstrate is a more complex than is
necessary. Creating a hello world widget is as simple as:
cd $WOOKIE_HOME/widgets
ant seed-widget
To run the server locally:
cd $WOOKIE_HOME
ant run
http://localhost:8080/wookie
To view the widget:
go to the widget gallery and click "demo" on your widget
To redeploy after editing the widget:
ant deploy-widget
This is more fully documented in
http://incubator.apache.org/wookie/building-widgets.html
and also in the materials at
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/wookie/trunk/tutorials/
