Presentation

Getting Started with webOS Development

September 14 2009, 1:30 - 2:30pm Room: Room 705

Web Dev

Overview

Palm webOS is the latest entrant into the mobile platform community and is positioned to become a significant player. What sets it apart from other platforms is how pervasively it embraces open source technology and web standards, specifically HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. In this session, we’ll show how existing web development skills can be leveraged to develop webOS applications. We’ll also show that not only are the languages of a webOS application familiar, but also that the architecture and structure of a webOS application follows familiar paradigms. During this session we will build a simple webOS application from scratch that demonstrates these concepts. By the end of the session, attendees will have a stable foundation to embark upon webOS development.
