Sugar Dave's Place

When I started trying to write applications for the Palm Pre last year, I knew nothing about JavaScript, very little about HTML, and pretty much nothing about CSS beyond what you would find at any online tutorial. These of course, were and are the cornerstones of the Mojo framework.

So, I logged into PreCentral last night just to see how many people have downloaded Mind Master since I released it (just over 8,000) and I noticed I had a private message waiting for me. It was from a Palm liaison asking if I'd like to put my app in the catalog as part of their early phase! I'm totally stoked, but there's a lot of work that's needed on the app to get it polished enough to pass the inclusion test.

I have made my first publicly available application for the Palm Pre (and I guess other webOS devices). It is a game called Mind Master (I'm sure you've heard of a similar game that exists in the analog world) that is pretty fun if you like logic puzzles. I'll update this (or another) posting later with more details, but you can check out the "official" page at PreCentral.

<sarcasm>Since I don't have enough side projects going</sarcasm>, I decided to jump into software development for the Palm Pre. Finally, my refusal to do Web development until the last couple years is biting me in the ass. I know next to nothing about JavaScript, HTML 5, AJAX, etc., which, of course, are all the things you need to know to develop applications for webOS (the operating system for the Pre and other devices coming soon from Palm.)
