Okay, so maybe it’s more like Palm Developer Weekend, but they’re calling it Palm Developer Day, so we’ll just go with that. Friday April 23rd and Saturday the 24th will see current and potential webOS developers descending on the Palm corporate campus in sunny Sunnyvale, California, to partake in a number of sessions and rub elbows with the Palm Developer Relations Team.
A $25 pre-registration fee will net an attendee access to all sessions, meals (they had some pretty kick-ass pizza last time they did something like this), and even a gift of the commemorative type.
Topical matter for the sessions will include:
- Intro to webOS
- Porting Apps to webOS
- Advanced webOS
- Marketing Your Apps: The Business of webOS Development
- Creating 3D Games for webOS
- Effective Debugging Techniques
- What’s Coming Next in webOS
Yes, it’s not just a Mojo SDK code-a-thon. There’ll be talk of app porting, 3D gaming with the PDK, and of high importance for any developer looking to make a buck or two: marketing. And is that a peak at the future we see there? We think it is.
UPDATE: As Lisa from Palm has informed us in these here comments, the Palm Developer Day could almost be considered two separate events. Friday will be "more of a webOS bootcamp" for new developers, while Saturday will be the Developer Day with the keynote, programming sessions, and – this is cool – "office hours" where a developer can get one-on-one time with the Developer Relations Team.
