Widget engines mimic, in many ways, the behavior of web browsers: an increasing number are actually built directly on top of web browsers so they are able to render web pages, while others incorporate web browser components such as ECMAScript interpreters. To developers and vendors, this means that most widgets are significantly easier to create than applications developed with lower-level programming languages such as Java and C#.</i>Gabor Pallerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14307475522972458932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8214401912480503366.post-74933990571155389272010-04-12T03:09:38.754+02:002010-04-12T03:09:38.754+02:00I've lived in technology-land for most of my l...I've lived in technology-land for most of my life, and I do a fair amount of programming both for my day job and for fun. But I've never once heard your second definition of widget as being related to web technologies in any way. It must be a use specific only to those actually working on and deploying such code.Jan Morenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06834641501438709866noreply@blogger.com
