Palm Pre Development Workshop September 5, 2009

Join us on Saturday the 5th for the Portland Pre Development Workshop. Everyone is welcome to attend, no prior programming experience is needed.
What is a Pre?
The Pre refers to the Palm Pre, a new competitor in the Smartphone market.

Why develop for the Pre?
The pre offers a simple but comprehensive SDK that is easy to build on but is also powerful. The Pre has a flourishing open source community.

Why is the Pre so good?
There are many reasons why the Pre is a good development platform. The big reason is potential. While the SDK only allows web coding with additional API's, the core of the system is Linux, which already has a large community.

What do I need for a Pre Development Workshop?
Please bring a laptop with the SDK already installed.

The SDK can be downloaded from http://developer.palm.com

I also recommend installing the eclipse platform with the Mojo plug-in. Instructions can be found here: http://developer.palm.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1639

Why only six tickets?
The space we are using at Souk has space for six people. If tickets sell out, then we will add more tickets.
