I don’t spend anywhere as much time with Dashcode as I’d like too but what time I have spent has been enjoyable. For those who don’t know Dashcode is bundled with Xcode on Mac OS X and makes it easy to build mini applications called Widgets to run in Dashboard. These are my first attempts at creating Widgets. The source doesn’t deviate much from the RSS example included in Apple’s Developer tools but hopefully I will improve them with time if the demand is there.
