Rajesh,
I want to compliment you on this book. It is one of the most complete writings I have seen on any of Microsoft's technologies.
Thanks!
 
Hey Rob,
thanks for the kind words, it made my day.

Hey Rajesh this seems like a great book, but before I purchase it, I want to make sure it will allow me to create the gadget I am striving for.

I am trying to display a feed of news, that when the article title is clicked, opens in a flyout and displays the the information within the article. Does your book cover this?
 
Hey Simon,

The second section of the book, Chapter 5-8 iteratively helps you create a Gadgets based on a feed and covers your requirement completely.

Chapter 5: Creating a Simple Gadget with RSS/Atom Feed

Chapter 6: Design Patterns and Standard Practices

Chapter 7: The MyBlog Gadget Revisited

Chapter 8: Debugging and Deploying a Gadget

Hope this helps, let me know if you have any more questions.
Rajesh

Is there a large difference between the vista gadgets and windows 7 gadgets?
 
No there is no difference for development, the only difference in the sidebar dock for gadget is gone which was the default location.
