Though webOS 2.1 has already gone out to Pre 2s (and a handful of Pre Pluses ) around the globe, developers not included in HP’s NDA-protected Early Access Program have been shut out of the latest version of the SDK — until now. That’s right: any old riffraff coming in off the street now have access to the webOS 2.1 SDK download, featuring Exhibition enhancements, “hybrid” app support for packages that span HTML, JavaScript, and C / C++, and JavaScript-based webOS service development capability

Palm fans, get your party hats on. Today the company is announcing the beta release of its SDK for webOS 2.0, which means we’re getting dangerously close to a proper 2.0 release for devices. And who knows..
The PDK is now out of beta, which means you may now begin submitting PDK-based apps to the App Catalog! As webOS 1.4.5 begins rolling out through the carriers, your apps will become available to customers with the update.
Hot on the heels of Lecture 5, Lecture 6 in Stanford’s Developing Mobile Apps class is now available on YouTube . This lecture is taught by our own Justin Tulloss, and covers multi-stage apps, dashboards, popups, and re-launching of apps. The lecture is also available on iTunes U .
One of the goals of our team doing development on the Facebook app has been to learn about our webOS platform from production software.
If you’ve been wanting to get involved with game programming, but aren’t quite ready to dive into OpenGL yet, take a look at our exclusive new tutorial on Canvas game development. It was written for us by Frank Zammetti, author of “Practical Palm Pre webOS Projects.” Frank’s article covers the development, from scratch, of a new Canvas game, “Far Out Fowl,” sparing no details.
Today, Palm is excited to announce the public beta release of the Plug-in Developer Kit (PDK) , which was announced in January at the Consumer Electronics Show. The PDK is a new component of the webOS SDK, letting developers use C and C++ alongside the web technologies that power the SDK, and even mix them seamlessly within a single application. The PDK brings new functionality to webOS, including immersive 3D graphics, and gives developers who have built games for other platforms an easy way to bring their titles to the webOS platform
Now that Palm Pixi is on the verge of shipping, we’ve released both webOS version 1.3.1 and the new version of the Mojo Software Development Kit. The highlights of the Mojo SDK version 1.3.1 release are the following; Enhanced Pixi support in emulator API to keep screen from auto-dimming Auto-generation of app Help / Support scene Numerous framework doc enhancements Elaborating a bit on the last item, we’ve heard the developer community’s feedback about webOS docs loud and clear.
Filed under: Software , Palm , webOS Currently, mobile entrepreneurs wishing to hawk their wares on the Pre (or Pixi , or unnamed webOS device of the future) use a software development kit from Palm called Mojo , a stack of Java-based tools that must be installed, studied, understood, loved, and respected before serious development can get underway. Palm sees that as a barrier of entry for web-oriented developers who want to make the leap to mobile apps, though, which is why they’ve crafted a new SDK called Ares that’s based entirely on web technologies — in fact, there’s no install at all, apparently. Much of the interface is said to be drag-and-drop with enough JavaScript exposed to make your local .com designer feel right at home, potentially opening the app landscape to a whole new set of folks — and considering that the App Catalog is tens of thousands of goodies behind the App Store and Android Market, they can use every loyal dev they get.
Filed under: Software , Palm , webOS Well, things just got interesting. The very evening of the App Catalog’s launch of paid apps , Palm has made a very different kind of announcement: it’s going to let developers skip out on the App Catalog if they so choose
Palm® just released webOS™ version 1.2, and with it the latest version of the Mojo™ Software Development Kit . As always, the number one reason to update your SDK installation is to keep your development environment in sync with the version of webOS that’s running on end-user devices
