I read with great interest Palm’s plans to facilitate coding for the masses - the Ares WebOS Development Tool which was recently demo’d at the Open Mobile Summit conference in San Francisco.

Ares will give developers another way to write WebOS applications and will allow fast development through a drag-and-drop interface, Palm said. It’s designed to help Web developers make the leap to becoming mobile developers, said Michael Abbott, senior vice president of application software and services at Palm. Ares will be available by year’s end through the WebOS developer site.
It won’t require any downloads or configuration, Abbott said. The environment includes debugging and a mechanism for developers to share libraries and APIs (application programming interfaces), Abbott said.
Picking up HTML, CSS and Javascript is fairly easy, and indeed many of us are familiar with the basics of the language of the web. However WebOS is harder as one has to deal with the intricacies of Mojo, widgets and what not. This can be as bewildering as trying to learn C++.
Physician coders who are “weekend code warriors” may find WebOS daunting but I think if Palm can pull this through, I suspect many might be tempted to try to build simple medical applications for WebOS. Kudos Palm!

Ares - a possible boon for physician coders?
