Second Palm Developer Podcast Online, Offers a Crash Course in Developing for webOS 9

by Robert Werlinger Wed, 28 Apr 2010 9:09 am EDT

Palm has released the second installment of its developer podcast series featuring Directors of Developer Relations Ben Galbraith and Dion Almaer.  You caught the first installment of the podcast series last month, which gave you a high-level look at Palm's vision going forward, and why Ben and Dion decided to leave Mozilla to work at Palm.  Episode Two gets a little bit more into the nitty gritty, offering a crash course geared towards beginner developers on the platform, showing how to install the necessary tools (such as the SDK and the emulator) to build an application, how to develop an application from scratch and tweak it, and how to deploy that application to the emulator or device for testing.  It's the perfect primer for folks that have been pondering making the jump into developing for the platform, as all of the basics to get up and running are covered here. Video is after the break!

Additionally, Palm has started to post the slides from their Developer Day online - there are currently three sessions available. We expect more to come - and we also hope that video of the presentations will become available online as well.

Thanks to everyone that sent this in!

Funny thing I been knowning html and css for the longest with no classes taken but never knew javascript. That's the hardest for me.

I saw the first video from the Stanford class yesterday. Wow, Dion lost a lot of weight in so little time! I didn't even recognize him. I guess Palm must not be paying him enough... Tough times.
Seriously though, after watching these videos, you can't help but believe Palm is years ahead of its time with webOS. In fact, it might be one of their problems...
Hopefully this will pay off in the end. And if that end starts this Fall with the C40, then I will be a happy camper.

I like how the guy in the black shirt pronounces it "Polm"
