Using HTML/JS in Internet Explorer is very different from developing on a platform where HTML/JS application development is fully supported. I have been playing for some time with WebOS development and I am quite happy with it.
This is probably true. But the tooling still leaves a bit to be desired.
I was really excited about WebOS when it first came out, but they just took too long to get the SDK out. I eventually just moved on and haven't gone back. Although I do think the new stuff they're doing looks quite nice.
- rbanffy 15y agoAre you confusing an SDK with an IDE? IIRC, the Palm launched an SDK early on, with a full device emulator. I don't see why an IDE is a basic requirement. I've been on and off IDEs for the past 2000 and, quite frankly, I am perfectly happy with Emacs.
- kenjackson 15y agoNo, I was given a Palm Pre (post-release), but didn't have access to the SDK. Here's an article: http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9134650/Palm_expects_wide_availability_of_SDK_for_Pre_this_summer?source=rss_news http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9134650/Palm_expects_... If you were approved you got access, but most didn't. I think jwz ranted about this too. There were all these devs who wanted to write for it, but weren't given access. Eventually I gave the phone back. General rule, your SDK needs to be done a month before product launch -- unless you're Apple.
- rbanffy 15y agoOdd. I remember getting the SDK very early. Maybe the fact I was a PalmOS developer since ever did play in my favor.
