Forum Nokia have been doing a lot of great work with tooling for their WRT (Web Runtime) widget platform over the past year or so. I think it’s important to provide web developers (who are the main target audience for growing the WRT dev community) to be able to use common tools when building widgets for the web, devices, etc. Following on from their Aptana plug-in, you can now also extend Adobe Dreamweaver and Microsoft Visual Studio to fast-track widget development.
I’ve been playing around with the Dreamweaver extension, and I have to say that they’ve done a very impressive job with integrating development, testing and deployment into the Dreamweaver environment. I’ll hopefully be getting to do some WRT/Flash Lite development soon, and will be able to give you all a better review of the DW extension then. Well done Forum Nokia!

And don’t forget, once you’ve built your rockin’ WRT widget, you can publish it to the Ovi Store for distribution!
