It's been a couple weeks since Chapter 7 was released, and now Chapter 8, System & Cloud Services, is out for budding webOS developers. Below is a summary excerpt of what to expect from the latest chapter:
"This chapter wrapped up the presentation of the Services available on Palm webOS. We covered the System Services in detail, showing examples using the Location services for retrieving the current position or tracking; checking connection status; setting a wakeup Alarm; getting the device ID and the System's date and time. While few of these are used in the News application, there were specific code samples for most of the service calls.
The chapter finished with an overview of the initial Cloud Service, Mojo Messaging an XMPP messaging service. This service is essential for background applications that require notifications from a web service or applications that want to share information and events across a community."
