ABSTRACT
In this poster we aim to recount our effort to raise the awareness of mobile and web developers of the concept of Mobile Widgets through a series of workshops. The workshops were attended by information technology students and professional developers. The poster will briefly define the concept of Mobile Widgets as a W3C recommendation, though a yet unpopular recommendation, and report our effort to make Mobile Widgets well known among developers via workshops specifically designed to interest web and mobile developers alike. The importance of the workshop arises from our belief that popularity among developers will result in mobile operating system vendors? support.
