I've built a working 'gadget' and deployed it into my 'iGoogle' (home-page) page.
[I'd built 'ajax' style web-pages previously, and was very familiar with XML, so re-packaging a conventional webpage into an XML container (a single-file...nice touch!) was easy and straight-forward.] So, now I'm trying to understand "...the forest for the trees..." (Google-wise), and maybe write my first Google 'web-app' (or maybe even a 'chrome-extension'). [Sorry, I know this is the iGoogle (gadget) forum, but I'm trying to learn how to make an informed decision about whether I really want/need to learn to develop an 'extension' or a 'web-app'.] In a nut-shell, are 'chrome-extensions' and 'web-apps' also just 'ajax-based' objects? Are they just packaged a bit differently than 'gadgets'? [Pointers to pages showing me the 'hello-world' equivalents for 'extensions' and 'web-apps' WOULD be useful.] Also, helping me understand whether 'web-app' would be even more 'platform-universal' could ALSO help. If I write a 'web-app' instead of a 'gadget', would it THEN also be apt to work on a (google) smartphone? TIA...
