Curious...any programmers here?

[Creech]

Are any of you guys coders? Specifically looking for people who would know how to code a gadget for Vista's sidebar.

[calzord]

Im just starting so ill be of no use, sorry. but im sure i have had talk of subscribers in the ranks of the subscribers.

[Bodangles]

Well I take AP Computer Science, but depending on what you want I'm not sure. Specify and I can give you a definite yes/no.

[zlionsfan]

Lots and lots of programming experience. Unfortunately, none with Vista.

Now, if you need some help with Java or ColdFusion, I can give you some suggestions ...

There is a gamercard gadget available for the Vista sidebar (linky (http://gallery.live.com/liveItemDetail.aspx?li=6d2a651e-8e41-4d2d-88df-bcbcebe89813&bt=1&pl=1)). What I would like is a gadget for x360a's front page, that shows the latest news headlines (both the "news" and then the front page "news stories" as well), an indicator if there are any new PMs, and then if there are any new XBL messages.

I haven't coded for freakin' years now, so I know it is not something I can do. But it sure is something I would like if someone is really motivated, and it would certainly get them an award for it since it would help spread the word about x360a.

Unless its Nokia or Ericsson, I can't code it :p

If it is, you couldn't afford me anyway ;)

[Creech]

I dunno Minty...last I heard you were cheaper than a $5 hooker. :p

[Minty]

You have $5 hookers?! Damn, I got screwed in Vegas.....


:p

[Deyankees1]

I have experience but none with Vista. I know a friend who does have some experience with vista I'll ask him if he can.

In more ways than one. ::rimshot::

Don't think you really need to know coding the gadgets can be made by anyone if you use the resourses available .. CHECK HERE (http://gallery.live.com/devcenter.aspx#Dev_8) and learn some more ..Anyone can do it it just takes time and all you really have to do is Copy and Paste and re-edit some of the coding they give you with your own URL's and so on .. could be done! but time is the key and lots of patience !

I know pascal pretty good, basic C#, Java and Vb. I don't really know if I could be any help but if so, send me a pm.

[gskillz99]

i taks visual basic in school. and next year i am taking AP computer science but that is java so don't think i can help

[Matt9340]

I know very basic coding...not enough to help. But i think if you check out the sidebar page on the site they should have tools to develop a gadget. If not i dont know what to tell you. except that if one does happen to surface i shall be getting it.

I dunno Minty...last I heard you were cheaper than a $5 hooker. :plol thats a QUOTE for my sig

[NumberUno]

lol thats a QUOTE for my sig

And what else is that called .. its a nasty lil meat that comes in a can .. and rhymes with ham.

If some one makes a gadget for the sidebar in Vista count me in as a user .. i just can't build it but check my above post it will take you to the magical place to where you can build one.

[sklib]

I took a computer science class last year... but wouldn't know anything about the type of thing you need. :(

[Lebowski]

I could create an RSS Feed if thats any help.
I have Vista but dont use the sidebar, I could check it out.
Im running Windows Vista Ultimate.
