Preface

Any good development platform is worthless without documentation. This book attempts to explain the gDesklets platform in detail, and is designed for developers who wish to create their own applets.

Due to the nature of an evolving project, a documentation book will always be a work-in-progress. This book will continually be revised and extended to reflect the latest state of the gDesklets development platform. Any suggestions or help from the readers is highly appreciated, and would greatly aid to make this book a comprehensive and up-to-date source of information for applet developers.

If you find some passages to be hard to read or totally incomprehensible, please do not curse about them. Instead, let us know what's bad. That way you can help us to make it better.

Now let's start with the documentation. We wish you will have as much fun developing on the gDesklets platform, as we are having developing it for you!
