What do I need to know about widgets?

[William Jamieson]

Hello. I just got Livecode 8. Want to start playing around with creating widgets. I wasn't able to find any tutorials or resources for how to build them, what to do, what not to do, how to get them to blow up, etc. So I just wanted to reach out to the community and hopefully some of the more experienced members if they had any tips to share with some of the people who may just be getting started.

Examples: (How do I set up?, How do I script?, How do I save to the tools pallete? What can I do with a widget? How do I integrate my widgets with other programming languages? etc)

Thank you for your help!

Haha I saw right after I posted this I saw that they have a whole section in the livecode dictionary if you click on "guide" at the top. I wonder if there are going to be any more tutorials or guides??

Lots. This video of Kevin's keynote at the NY Unconference is about 90 minutes, but worth the time - among other things he notes that all of their learning materials will be focusing on v8 going forward:

You were right. Kevin does such a great job at explaining things.

This was also the code resource he referred to in the talk for examples
