Download and backup your project OFTEN in Ares!

I accidently uploaded 2 files to the “root” of the application folder and lost access to everything in that project =/

Of course, this wasn’t one of the ‘test’ apps that I played with. This was the one that I was working on to release through the App Catalog. BUH!

It almost makes me want to do Windows Phone 7 Development! (Almost, except that I am waiting for the incompatibilies to be resolved between the W7P CTP tools and the released VS2010.

I am also worried about the future of webOS as Palm is supposedly up for sale.

The webOS is awesome and could be a great development platform, but I found the documentation extremely lacking.  One line descriptions, without working examples.

For the companies that seem to be in the running, I am doubtful that any of them are going to improve the documentation.

So, while I figure out what I am going to do next, now that my project is ‘lost,’ I am going to tackle playing the new Tetris Arena at TetrisFriends.com as they asked me to do a review. (Disclaimer: They are not paying me, but did enable all features on my account so I could test it.)

Palm recently announced their browser based development system Ares.

While Palm webOS did not have as much of a barrier to entry as Apple iPhone apps, Ares still changes the playing field.

With the step-by-step tutorial, you can get a basic (FlickrSearch) webOS app up and running in an online emulator rather quickly.  I am looking forward to working with this a bit more.
