  • Palm’s Ares SDK goes to public beta

    Palm’s Ares SDK goes to public beta

    Posted on December 17, 2009 | No Comments
    After a brief private testing period, Palm's interesting Ares software development package has made its way into a public beta phase. Breaking tradition from Mojo -- Palm's other webOS SDK -- the big news with Ares is that the dev environment is fully web-based with no additional tools needed for apps to get whipped into reality. Not only does that make getting started a breeze (theoretically, anyway), but Palm thinks that this is the way to bring mobile development to a whole new category of folks who may not come from traditional dev backgrounds -- they want to pull in web geeks who've got the ideas and design experience but not necessarily the hardcore coding background that you'd normally need to take the next Air Hockey to production. Grab that sucker now and let us know what you come up with, alright? We'll split the profits 60 / 40.

  • Palm’s Ares SDK is in testers’ hands

    Palm’s Ares SDK is in testers’ hands

    Following its November announcement, Palm has now filled up a small pool of test spots for a "fairly advanced alpha" of its Ares SDK for webOS, the fully web-based cousin of Mojo. It sounds like this first round of testers is expected to be fairly actively involved, submitting not just bug reports but also feedback on the system to help "finish it" and "give it some polish" -- both good things for a toolkit designed to help devs build apps for a platform that could use as many as it can get right now. It sounds like this first round of invites was pretty small, but if you're interested, sign up anyway -- they'll be expanding the alpha / beta group prior to general availability, it seems.
