My first impression is that it's a great platform and +Palm could do a great job of 2.0 if they cut down on some of the +verbosity of gluing together the UI. I have learned to like +JavaScript over the years as I learned that despite its +warts [there are good parts](http://ca.video.yahoo.com/watch/630959/2974197) +too. If you squint just right you can see that it's scheme with +Algol syntax. HTML and CSS are what they are, but with WebKit running +the show and only a single engine to target it's not that bad. I've +gone from Eclipse to Emacs for the coding itself and highly recommend +Emacs for Mojo development. There is nothing that I miss from the +Eclipse or Komodo Edit thanks to the fact that Mojo uses open +languages and standards. + + +As far as actual development goes the Mojo documentation steers you +towards a combination of Eclipse, Palm's Mojo plugin for Eclipse, +and the Aptana Studio plugin. My editor of choice is Emacs but +I decided to give it a spin just to get started quickly, how bad +could it be? I'm not going to get into details but I will say that I +don't think I'll ever use Eclipse for anything; it's far too +sluggish and provides no compelling features for the languages +that I use. I tried Komodo Edit and it was significantly +better but still not for me. Emacs is great for editing HTML, +JavaScript, and CSS so all I really missed from the IDEs were the +shortcuts to package, install, and launch apps in the +emulator. I headed over to +the [Emacs Wiki](http://www.emacswiki.org/) and +downloaded Jonathan +Arkell's [Mojo +support for Emacs](http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/MojoSdk) +which provided a great base to get +started with. There are wrappers around (all?) of the Palm SDK +commands but it needed a bit of work to make it just do what I +wanted with as little input and thought as possible. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/public/posts/drafts/_data.json b/public/posts/drafts/_data.json index ccd007a..97b5a6b 100644 --- a/public/posts/drafts/_data.json +++ b/public/posts/drafts/_data.json @@ -20,5 +20,17 @@ ], "author": "Sami Samhuri" + }, + "7A581803-B422-4D9C-AE8A-8E9526C86C7F": { + "id": "7A581803-B422-4D9C-AE8A-8E9526C86C7F", + "author": "Sami Samhuri", + "title": "http://revealapp.com/blog/constraints-and-transforms.html", + "date": "May 14, 2015", + "timestamp": 1431629109, + "link": "http://revealapp.com/blog/constraints-and-transforms.html", + "url": "/posts/drafts/7A581803-B422-4D9C-AE8A-8E9526C86C7F", + "tags": [ + + ] } } \ No newline at end of file
