Omaha Pre Dev Camp: Beers, Wings, and Code were Shared
Omaha joined hundreds of other cities worldwide Saturday in holding a local Palm Pre Developer Camp. Flye Rosal organized the event which was held at DJ’s Dugout.
In attendance were other local developers including Bryan Roth who already has a shopping list application in the Pre’s Homebrew App Gallery that he demonstrated.
Carl Zulauf treated the group to a demo on developing with the Pre’s Mojo framework. Mojo allows you to use the Pre’s system calls and databases all through an easy Javascript API.
And Nick Ashley talked about his blog, webosappreview.com which lists reviews of Pre applications in the Pre App Catalog.
And if you’re wondering whether or not to get a Pre, I gathered some two-sentence reviews:
“I love it and it’s very responsive. It’s not in any way like Windows CE mobile devices.” -Aron Filbert
“Multitasking bliss. It has a long way to go, but hopefully it will get there.” -Carl Zulauf
“It’s not on AT&T. Plus ten bonus points right there.” -Nick Ashley
“A great start, but hopefully lots more to come.” -Adam Lassek
“A new beginning to the mobile market.” -Bryan Roth
“Needs more tools for development, but looking forward to utilizing cloud services through Mojo messaging services.” -Flye Rosal
