Do you have questions about Nokia Web Runtime in Maemo? As announced in the Maemo Summit, it's coming for Maemo 5 and the Maemo 6: * Developing apps on Maemo with Nokia Web Runtime http://www.slideshare.net/santtuahonen/developing-apps-on-maemo-with-nokia-web-runtime * Hands-on development with Nokia Web Runtime http://www.slideshare.net/olevine/handson-development-with-nokia-web-runtime * Forum Nokia: Web Runtime widgets http://www.forum.nokia.com/Technology_Topics/Web_Technologies/Web_Runtime/ We have still some months to go. Now starts to be a good time to share questions about this developer technology, so we can fine tune the developer documentation. Nokia Web Runtime will be landing on Maemo and Symbian (S60 had it for a while but the new generation based on Qt and WebKit is a much more powerful beast). Web Runtime will be positioned as an entry point for cross-platform development and the expectation is to have the majority of developers using this technology, leaving the native Qt based development for specific and justified cases where more complexity and performance is needed. In fact it is very possible that some of you considering Qt now for cross-platform development will end up using Web Runtime instead. It is also possible that some of you power users not thinking of learning C, C++ or even Python will end up giving a try to the Javascript based Web Runtime, turning yourselves into developers as well. So please, share your questions and thoughts here. I can't promise any answers soon but I can grant you that such questions will be taken into account when writing the documentation, helping us to bring the first Nokia Web Runtime releases for Maemo with documentation more suitable for your needs. Since the Nokia Web Runtime is a cross-platform technology, most of the documentation will be just as cross-platform in itself. However, depending on your feedback we might have some content in the Maemo Developer Guide providing the extra bits interesting to Maemo developers, linking to the original and independent Web Runtime documentation for the rest. -- Quim Gil + N900 open source advocate Maemo Devices @ Nokia _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
