-> Because I'm coding much-much more.
Learning curve of BB10 Webworks seems really smooth, my rusty fingers are agile again and I must say ... I love that !
I can't say more than this : I you are/were some kind of Web Developer, just jump into the ship and start the FLOW - CONNECT - EXTEND experience ...
A bit tricky for 1 or 2 days (yay: if you're not motivated: don't waste your time) mostly due to install and configuration ... but now ... let's ROCK this device to the max !
(oh, did one at the rear shout "and that's a fact ?")

HTML is a pretty intuitive language, so you may start easy. Rules of the thumb :
- Do not skip stages
- Start with easy projects
- Get involved in community
- It's a real job, don't expect to become millionaire in a week.
Then, some resources you can explore (quoted from a private message, "as is"):
Well, if you're not familiar with HTML yet, I strongly suggest you get the most up to date and valid HTML5 learning. The most reliable source is W3 School and you might try to start here : HTML5 Tutorial.
Then, if you really plan to use it for development purpose, you'll need some javascript skills, mostly to deal with UI and screen manipulation. There are several frameworks that are compatible with Webworks, but I'd say that RIM's open source bbui.js may be the most integrated with BB7 -> BB10 devices. Discover here : http://devblog.blackberry.com/2012/0...now-available/ And basics are here: https://github.com/blackberry/bbUI.js#the-basics.
To put all of this together, you'll need the Webworks framework, documentation and tools, find it here : https://developer.blackberry.com/html5/
Last, while you can develop HTML files with a simple text editor, you may consider using an IDE such as Eclipse (choose Eclipse classic) here : http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-classic-372/indigosr2 or, if you have it, you could also use a tool like Dreamweaver ... but it's likely the preview/graphical design won't match once you'll use specific BB10 features.
Be patient, if you're new to this, do not expect to skip steps. Start with easy goals.
Hope it helps.Thanks ! You bet I will

My point is also to motivate some of us - Web developers/designers - that have been a long time considered as the third wheel of what is commonly named "developers".
It's now OUR language (the one we've been fighting with for two decades) that is spotted on the stage. Yeah, RIM should capitalize on that ... ? allo ? anyone in Waterloo ?06-19-12 09:12 AM
