Great news! For a limited time, registered webOS developers in the US, Canada, and Europe will be able to buy up to two 32GB TouchPads. Visit the Developer Device Program page for details. Quantities are limited, so be sure to take advantage of this offer soon!
Once again, a big thanks to everybody who submitted apps for the Weekly App Hack. This week’s theme was “Accelerometer”, and we received some very interesting entries. It’s amazing how many different ways you can use such a seemingly simple feature
One benefit of developing for a JavaScript framework like Enyo is being able to take advantage of existing 3rd party JavaScript libraries. Using these add-on libraries allows us to quickly implement tools, controls, and animations to our applications with minimal effort.
Have you been wanting to add maps, complete with pushpins and infoboxes to your Enyo-based app? We’ve added a tutorial from our own Markus Leutwyler (@twtomcat for those following him on Twitter) that shows you all the details. You’ll find the article on the HP webOS Developer Center here
As explained in yesterday’s post , we are starting a weekly App Hack Challenge. Each week we will post a code sample or explain how to use a particular API. You will have just seven days to use that code or API to build a cool app. The app doesn’t have to be huge or complex, just something fun and interesting. You have to submit it to the app catalog by October 11th at 11:59pm Pacific Daylight Time to enter.
Looking for an opportunity to flex your webOS skills on a new app, but need a bit of inspiration to get your creative juices flowing? We’ve got the answer for you
As the HP TouchPad broadens webOS’ footprint around the world, the webOS App Catalog will open its doors in four new countries – Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and Hong Kong. Once people power up their shiny new TouchPads, we want them to access as many of your great apps as possible. Here are some things we’re doing to help make that happen: – Developers may now submit apps to the App Catalog specifically for these countries – All free apps marked in the catalog for “rest of the world” will be made available automatically in the App Catalog for these countries, which include TouchPad apps and smartphone apps that have been tested and approved as TouchPad-compatible.
Around the webOS Developer Relations team, we often like to say that the developer is our customer. It drives what we do and constantly pushes us to keep asking, how can we improve the experience for every developer on our platform?
The HP TouchPad has arrived, and now developers everywhere can access the webOS 3.0 SDK, available for public download . When you take a step back, you realize that it hasn’t been that long since we released webOS 3.0 SDK into Early Access
When we introduced the HP TouchPad earlier this year, we wanted everyone to “think big.” Today, we’ve got some big updates to share. Start submitting your TouchPad apps today Ever since we released the webOS 3.0 SDK in our Early Access program , we’ve had a tremendous response from developers who have eagerly started creating apps for the first webOS tablet.
We continuously strive to provide webOS developers with the resources and support they need to be successful with webOS. That’s why we’re excited about offering our Developer Device Program now to webOS developers in Europe. If you’re actively developing a webOS app, our device program makes it easy and affordable to get the devices you need to test and optimize your apps
When it comes to testing how an app works for any given device, we know that there’s no substitute for the real thing.
You’ve made a great app. You know that if someone just tries it, they’re going to love it. And they’re going to tell everyone they know about it.
When we introduced the HP TouchPad on February 9, you could really feel the excitement. People everywhere wanted to know what the buzz was all about. Well, that day not only marked the introduction of the first webOS tablet – it marked the beginning of a new vision for webOS and an unprecedented opportunity for developers
