I was really excited when I heard the software developer kit for the Pre was going to be using html, javascript and css for programming. The reality of it all is a little different…
I understand that there would be a bit of a learning curve and if I really invested the time in it I could probably learn it all. But the thing that kills me is there isn’t really any good documentation on what you have at your disposal and what you can really do.
A perfect example of what should be included is what comes with autoit. Autoit has excellent documentation and tools to make life simple for you. Every possible step or execution you can do is also included as examples so you at least have somewhere to start AND each example will load directly from the help window. Still can’t figure it out? Hop online and check out their forums. Plenty of people out there who know what they’re doing. Plenty of homemade examples as well ranging from editing excel spreadsheets to beating minesweeper.
Ok so that’s enough about being off topic. My point is that I consider myself to be an intelligent person and if I’m having to follow too many steps just to open an example…you’ve done something terribly wrong.
Palm Pre SDK = Terribly Wrong…
