"We want to see more Arabic (local) gadgets developed by Arabic users"

You don't have to work at Google to develop an iGoogle gadget; with the right information and tools you go after it yourself! Google and eSpace combine forces as eSpace's Haitham Mohammad conducts a session on how to develop an iGoogle gadget as part of Google's lecture series, Google Tech Talks,  at the Faculty of Engineering, Alexandria University.

  1. What is  iGoogle & what's a gadget?

  2. Gadget development basics

  3. Open Social initiative

  4. Gadgets API in depth

  5. A simple demo

The session will be on the 28th of February and is open to all students of the Computer Engineering department at Alexandria University without registration.
