Part 1 of 'Popfly Mashup Desktop Gadgets with Sidewinder'

This is the first tutorial in a set of three, that shows you how to turn Popfly mashups into desktop gadgets using the Sidewinder Web Applications Viewer.

This tutorial creates a Popfly mashup that shows your Facebook friends in a rotating carousel, to be used in the later tutorials.

The second tutorial makes use of this mashup to show different ways to display it as a gadget on the desktop, simply by altering the URL that is used by Sidewinder to load the mashup.

And the final tutorial shows how to write a few lines of script for Sidewinder to execute, that will then control what happens when you select a friend from the image carousel.
