The PDN Blog reports the second chapter of Palm webOS: Developing Applications in JavaScript using the Palm Mojo Framework was released today, written by Palm Software CTO Mitch Allen and available from O'Reilly through Safari Books.
The book is an official guide to building native JavaScript applications for Palm webOS, by principle architect Mitch Allen and the Palm webOS development team. It provides a complete tutorial on developing webOS applications, including the necessary design principles, architecture, UI, tools, and services. If you're familiar with HTML, CSS, and Javascript, you're ready to build applications for webOS devices and the Palm Pre.
Chapter 2 is titled "Application Basics", and shows the reader how to create their first application, discussing many of the underlying philosophies of programming in Mojo and webOS. It goes into more webOS coding details than the material covered so far:
In this chapter, you’ll learn how to build a basic webOS application starting with the installation of the SDK. You’ll create a new application project, customize the critical application components and develop the first parts of the News application, which will be used throughout the book as our sample app. Along the way, we will go into detail on how to use the framework and apply the different APIs, widgets and styles.
A full summary of the chapter will be posted later tonight. In the meantime, you can catch up with our Chapter 1 summary, check out the first official webOS / Mojo SDK tutorial summarizing the material covered in the O'Reilly developer webcast, watch HD video of the webinar, or head over to the webOS tutorials section to get started.
