Opera Software released the Opera Widgets SDK beta, enabling Web developers to deploy Web applications on any device. The Opera Widgets SDK is based on open, W3C-set standards to employ common web technologies such as HTML, CSS and media queries, JavaScript and Ajax, in creating advanced Web applications. The SDK features an emulator, libraries, documentation and Opera Dragonfly for debugging. The Opera Widgets SDK beta is available at: http://www.opera.com/widgets/sdk.

“Opera continues to lead the way to real convergence with the Opera Widgets SDK,” says Christen Krogh, Chief Development Officer, Opera Software. “Promoting One Web takes on additional meaning with the support of an SDK to develop full-scale Web applications for any range of devices at one time.”
