JTA Bus Schedule WebOS App Changelog and Planned Updates
Some folks asked for this, so here it is. This is what I am planning on doing, and the order I plan on doing it in. If anyone wants to help, let me know! I'm doing this all for free.
| Version # | Changes or Planned Changes |
|---|---|
| 0.0.1 | Added Bus Schedules Header, List of Bus Schedules with hyperlinks to JTA website. |
| 0.0.2 | Changed background color and spaced out the list to make it easier to tap. |
| 0.0.3 | Added JTA logo and link to JTA homepage. |
| 0.5.0 | Converted text html list to Mojo List UI. It's easier to tap and more natural for WebOS users. Added place holder cards for each schedule and put a Webview widget on each schedule card. Now you don't have to leave the app to see the schedule on the JTA website. |
| 0.6.0 | Fixed missing cards. Added a header on each schedule card with a link to the actual website so you can open them in another card. Started importing schedule into the application. Added AR-3 Townsend-Regency schedule, links to the pdf version and the route map jpg to the app as a style test. |

Whoops! I goofed.
Last night I uploaded version 0.5.0 of the JTA Bus Schedules app for WebOS. I made it so that the schedule webpage on jtafla.com opened inside of the app, instead of loading a new web browser card for each schedule.
I don't particularly like it this way, because it doesn't give you any feedback to let you know that the app is working. It just turns the screen white until the page loads. My plan is to add the actual schedules to the app, and then make it so the schedules launch as a separate "card stage" so that you can have multiple schedules open at the same time. I just don't know how to do that, yet.
Also, I just found a few goofs! A few of the schedules won't load. I'll fix them up as soon as I get home.
I made a WebOS app!
I can't believe it! I watched one episode of the Palm Developer Podcast on YouTube and followed the Ares app tutorial. Then, I played around with Ares and I created my first app! It was fairly super easy, especially considering I have never written an app before! Now, don't get me wrong, my app stinks. It's basically just a page of hyperlinks, but it looks cool! If you have a Palm WebOS device, check it out... I'll post a link to it as soon as it is posted in the Palm beta catalog.
The WebOS App Project
Today I decided to make an app for WebOS. Everything I hear about WebOS development tells me that it is fairly easy to develop an app on WebOS if you have a rudimentary understanding of html, css, and javascript. That's about all that I have. I have no prior experience or education in any other programing language. I'm beginning tonight. I will update you as I progress. I am planning on making an app for my local transit companies bus system. I am probably going to have a map in it, and the bus schedules. That's about all I can think of right now. Here I go!
WebOS 1.4 is finally here!
