Chapter Three of Developing Applications in JavaScript using the Palm Mojo™ Framework now available
April 17 — Topics: O'Reilly — Chuq Von Rospach
The third chapter of the Rough Cuts version of Palm webOS: Developing Applications in JavaScript using the Palm Mojo™ Framework by Palm Software CTO Mitch Allen is now available from O’Reilly.
This chapter is titled “Widgets”. Widgets are dynamic UI controls, that can be integrated within any application. They can be tailored to the application, yet provide reusable, stylistically consistent UI functions. Widgets is a term widely used within web development but Mojo widgets are different than other widgets. Mojo widgets have a defined behavior but with many options; they generate complex HTML and are easily styled with CSS.

When is the rest of the book scheduled for release? In lieu of access to the SDK, this is all most of us have to go on. And any word on opening up the SDK distribution a bit more?
The release of the book is controlled by O'Reilly and how quickly the author can write it. I don't have a schedule for when future chapters will come out – I usually get about a day's notice on it. As to the SDK, we continue to bring people into the program, and we're working on getting it into general release — but I don't have a date yet I can say when that will be.

Can you speak on the availability of synchronous database API? This was added recently to HTML5/Web Storage spec and it would be amazing to have this available at launch time. I'm not aware of its implementation status in the general WebKit code base…
Unfortunately, we haven’t released any information on that yet
