Dashcode is everything you need to create great Dashboard widgets.
Built from the ground up with widgets in mind, Dashcode makes it easy
for even a novice programmer to create a widget, give it a professional
look, and package it up so you and your friends can enjoy your creation.
With Dashcode you will have your widget running in minutes, even if
you've never written a line of code. You will start your project by
selecting one of the bundled templates, creating a valuable widget that
is ready to run - and ready to be customized. The integrated workspace
will have you smoothly transitioning from design and layout, to editing
code, to debugging JavaScript, and finally deploying your great new
widget.
Dashcode is bundled along with Xcode in every copy of Mac OS X 10.5
(Leopard), and the Xcode downloads starting with Xcode 3.0. However,
Dashcode is able to create widgets that work on Dashboard for both
Leopard and Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger).
You can download builds of the WebKit open source project to keep track of changes in the framework that may affect your Web-based content or application.
Dashcode is the integrated development environment for building Dashboard widgets. Read how Dashcode (included in Leopard) will make widget development easier than ever.
