The webcast video where Mitch Allen, software CTO for Palm along with a member of the Palm webOS design team is now available for your viewing pleasure in case you missed it yesterday. The length of the webcast is nearly 60-min long and the content is pretty technical. So don’t expect to see the Pre in action (check out Pre Community’s 26-min Palm Pre demo at MWC09 if that’s what you’re looking for).
Keep in mind that a lot of what’s in the webcast is a recap of the material included in the introductory chapter of Palm webOS: Developing Applications in JavaScript Using the Palm MojoTM Framework, a joint collaboration announced this week by Palm and O’Reilly, and will give you a preview into application development with the Mojo SDK. This is a great opportunity to hear an insider’s perspective on webOS development and get a glimpse into the development environment and toolset for this breakthrough mobile web platform.
Allen is vice president and software chief technology officer at Palm, Inc., where he provides executive-level technical leadership for Palm’s software strategy. His primary focus is the establishment of Palm webOS as the leading mobile platform for web developers. As one of the earliest designers of webOS, Mitch has been a principle architect of Palm’s new OS and application development framework. He is currently leading the design of the Mojo developer SDK and toolsets, and working with initial developers in their use of the platform and SDK.
