Introduction

With the broadest ever release of Microsoft Vista World wide, 2007 opens the door to an era of gadget development. Gadgets are small, light weight but powerful applications which stay on the Windows Vista Sidebar. The coolest thing about a gadget is that it is not dependent on any particular language or technologies, and you don't need to be a rocket scientist to create a gadget. Basic knowledge of HTML and Javascript is enough for that, but you can also program in any Microsoft language for windows/web to extend a gadget. Once you know the basic rules of gadget development, only sky is the limit for productivity and innovations.
