Palm engineers had a lot to say at the Sprint Developer Conference. Instead of trying to have the last word about webOS development, Palm shared the stage with four of your colleagues‹developers who already have apps available on Palm Pre
Following up on the release of the beta app catalog e-commerce program , we’re excited to announce that we’re opening our app distribution program to the entire Palm® webOS™ developer community by the end of the year.
Palm has a long history of creating innovative platforms with rich opportunities for developers. Over the years, we’ve sparked the creation of tens of thousands of applications, offering our customers a vast range of options and creating huge opportunities for our developer community
I thought I’d pass along pointers to a couple of videos you might want to watch. The first one is to the Engadget Show , where Palm’s CEO, Jon Rubenstein, sits down for a talk about Palm, the Pre and webOS. The other video is the second webcast by Palm’s CTO Mitch Allen, this one covering webOS Application basics: For those getting started programming in webOS, it covers a lot of the ground to get you going and is well worth the time to view
Just a quick note to thank everyone who attended the Application Basics webcast on Tuesday (September 9th), and to thank the O’Reilly team for hosting the webcast. We covered a lot in the hour ranging from how to access and install the SDK, an overview of the SDK tools and building a simple application.
Submit your webOS applications today for the Palm App Catalog e-commerce beta starting in mid-September Starting today, you can submit your apps via email for consideration in the Palm App Catalog e-commerce beta program. We’re initiating the beta e-commerce program so we can test the experience for both webOS app developers and users.
Starting this week, we’re going to post regular updates to help you find the new information and interesting activities on the webOSdev developer portal . This week we’re encouraging everyone to get involved with preDevCamp on August 8 and to come and join the activities in the webOSdev developer forums .
I’m very pleased to announce that effective today we are wrapping up the webOS early access program. We are doing this because today we opened up the program to everyone and released our new public developer portal at http://developer.palm.com .
We are excited to announce the availability of Palm’s open source portal at http://opensource.palm.com . We’re using Linux and various other open source software in webOS to allow us to accelerate innovation through collaboration with the global community of open source developers. The benefits of teaming with the open source community come with the important responsibility of ensuring compliance with applicable open source license obligations.
For anyone who will be near Moscone in the evening, Palm will be hosting a casual reception at Thirsty Bear ( http://thirstybear.com/ ) in San Francisco on June 11th from 6:00 to 8:00 pm. Stop by, meet Chuq and other members of the webOS development and developer relations team.
