Palm has just unloaded chapter 2 of their official developers guide: Application Basics. Keep in mind, this is a Rough Cuts version, so Palm webOS: Developing Applications in JavaScript using the Palm Mojo™ Framework is still subject to a lot of feedback and editing before it’s ready for primetime. Here’s an intro of chapter 2, right from the horse’s mouth:
If you’re new to JavaScript, HTML or CSS, you may want to familiarize yourself with their fundamentals before tackling the next few chapters. Even so, the material presented here is fairly basic and you don’t need to be a web development expert to build applications for webOS.
In this chapter, you’ll learn how to build a basic webOS application starting with the installation of the SDK. You’ll create a new application project, customize the critical application components and develop the first parts of the News application, which will be used throughout the book as our sample app. Along the way, we will go into detail on how to use the framework and apply the different APIs, widgets and styles.
For those interested in a preview of the chapter, check out Palm’s developer webinar, or if you’re ready to rock and code, dive right into the digital publication.
