The Palm Pre is the hottest new device on the block. It's the
cell phonenay, personal digital everythingthat all the cool kids
want to get their hands on...but no one wants to use it more than
developers
The Palm Pre is more than just a way-cool device, though: it is
built on Palm's webOS, an operating system that changes the game
for developers. Building on standards-based web technologies, webOS
allows us to create applications more quickly and easily than any
other platform out there using the same technologies we know and
love already. It turns out to be quite fun, too
In this book, you'll learn all about the Palm Pre and webOS,
their capabilities, and how to develop for them. You'll learn to
write applications that function entirely on the Pre itself, and
you'll also learn to write applications that live in the cloud
(i.e., keep you connected to the digital world around you). You'll
spend most of your time looking at Mojo, the framework API through
which your code interfaces with the operating system. All of this
will be presented within the context of six fully functional
real-world applications that you can use on your own Pre
Once you're done, you'll be ready to write your own webOS
applications for the Pre, get them into the app catalog (the online
store where Pre applications are made available to Pre owners), and
make tons of cash. Learn to program the Palm Pre by sticking to
JavaScript. Write useful apps as well as games. Become productive
using Mojo and upload new applications within a day. What you'll
learn All about the Palm Pre, its capabilities, webOS architecture,
application structure, and development model (including tooling)
The Mojo framework/API, what it offers, how it's organized, and
more How to interact with cloud-based services to provide a
connected experience for Pre applications How to write on-device
applications that store all their data locally (some will then sync
to a server-side store when later connected) How to write games as
well as useful apps Who this book is for
This book is for fairly experienced web developers looking to
take their skills mobile and get a leg up on Palm Pre, webOS, and
Mojo development. Table of Contents The New Kid(s) on the Block The
