Hi Rohit, Thank you very much for your quick and very much valuable reply. Sorry for the delay from my side.
Your reply cleared so many things but still i have some more doubts. > 2. Also, you can develop the entire application in your environment and > upload the final Gadget XML file to Orkut Sandbox for development and Orkut > Application directory for production. My question is, normally developing any application requires to write code in many different files and to create different pages. But here it looks like there is only one XML file in which we have to write code, so i am wondering how i will develop & maintain a big application in just a single file.(actually i am trying to do feasibility study of the app i am gng to develop) And as you said "you can develop the entire application in your environment", so how OpenSocial API will work in my local envirement & how i will test my code in local environment because the code we are writing is in XML file so where to run that XML file.
