Tutorial Suggestions…
What would you guys like to see in the next tutorial? I am open to ideas. I want to be able to teach people the correct methods for WebOS Development and do not want to start writing stuff if people are not going to find it beneficial.
Enjoy this article?

I’d like to see a tutorial on using Depot to populate a list through callbacks. That is probably one of the more confusing aspects I have found so far.

Matthew,
Thanks for your feedback. I will see what I can do about getting a tutorial on that topic posted. Things have gotten a bit busy lately but I will work on something.

Hi Joseph,
I’d like to see a tutorial about how to interact with “the cloud” a bit. Maybe something that shows us how to grab an XML feed from the web and then parse it into a page… like a very simple RSS reader.
Thanks for the tutorials – I am enjoying learning about WebOS and your site is a great resource!

Chris,
It is going to be a little while before I am able to get to your suggestion. I have added it to my list however I have been really busy with work recently and have had almost no time for WebOS. I still need to get Part 5 of my list series completed.

Hi Joseph, thanks for your response. I have since found the palm news app in the examples in the SDK and this should suffice for me learning about RSS for now. Still a ground-up tutorial would always be welcome. Hope you find some more time for WebOS soon!

Chris,
I honestly think if you want to get into RSS you should pick up the webos book by palm. They create an RSS reader as the application walk-through for that book. There are issues with the book but with the help of the errata you should make it though pretty good.
