Feb 6th Hackathon: Porting HP webOS applications to BlackBerry WebWorks platform

[sanyuk]

With Hewlett Packard’s now contributing Enyo to the open source
community, I’d like to invite webOS developers to another open source
community: BlackBerry® WebWorks™.
BlackBerry Webworks allows developers to leverage their existing HTML5/
CSS3/JavaScript skills to develop rich, integrated applications for
the complete BlackBerry device lineup. Developers can then test,
debug, package, sign, and distribute their application either with
BlackBerry’s cross-platform Ripple Emulator or the stand-alone command-
line WebWorks SDKs.

With WebWorks, developers can create rich web applications with native
capabilities and take advantage of platform features to help them
succeed, such as an Advertising Service, in-app Payments, NFC and
integration with BBM - BlackBerry’s instant messaging service with
over 50 million users worldwide.

I will be joined by Markus Leutwyler from HP Developer Relations and
Ken Wallis from BlackBerry WebWorks team for a full day hackathon to
help you get up to speed porting your applications from HP webOS to
BlackBerry WebWorks and adapting your existing Enyo based applications
to shine on Blackberry Devices. All attendees will receive a free
BlackBerry 7 device to take home and will be eligible for a free pass
plus accommodation for themselves for the sold-out BlackBerry
Developer Conference (http://www.blackberrydevcon.com/europe)
occurring over the following 2 days where they will also receive a
free PlayBook!
