Nokia Web Runtime developer questions

Do you have questions about Nokia Web Runtime in Maemo? As announced in the 
Maemo Summit, it's coming for Maemo 5 and the Maemo 6:

* Developing apps on Maemo with Nokia Web Runtime 
http://www.slideshare.net/santtuahonen/developing-apps-on-maemo-with-nokia-web-runtime

* Hands-on development with Nokia Web Runtime 
http://www.slideshare.net/olevine/handson-development-with-nokia-web-runtime

* Forum Nokia: Web Runtime widgets 
http://www.forum.nokia.com/Technology_Topics/Web_Technologies/Web_Runtime/


We have still some months to go. Now starts to be a good time to share 
questions about this developer technology, so we can fine tune the developer 
documentation.

Nokia Web Runtime will be landing on Maemo and Symbian (S60 had it for a while 
but the new generation based on Qt and WebKit is a much more powerful beast). 
Web Runtime will be positioned as an entry point for cross-platform development 
and the expectation is to have the majority of developers using this 
technology, leaving the native Qt based development for specific and justified 
cases where more complexity and performance is needed.

In fact it is very possible that some of you considering Qt now for 
cross-platform development will end up using Web Runtime instead.

It is also possible that some of you power users not thinking of learning C, 
C++ or even Python will end up giving a try to the Javascript based Web 
Runtime, turning yourselves into developers as well.

So please, share your questions and thoughts here. I can't promise any answers 
soon but I can grant you that such questions will be taken into account when 
writing the documentation, helping us to bring the first Nokia Web Runtime 
releases for Maemo with documentation more suitable for your needs.

Since the Nokia Web Runtime is a cross-platform technology, most of the 
documentation will be just as cross-platform in itself. However, depending on 
your feedback we might have some content in the Maemo Developer Guide providing 
the extra bits interesting to Maemo developers, linking to the original and 
independent Web Runtime documentation for the rest.

Very nice,

this is exactly what I was asking some weeks ago, a simple way to pack a
html file with javascipt (if I understood correctly).

I wonder, if you could provide a maemo(debian) package, which is a
sceleton to install a Nokia Web Runtime package onto existing maemo
devices. It should not be too difficult I think, at least if one would
start the html file in the default webbrowser?!

Hi Quim,

Does Nokia WRT have full access to the system and if limited, what is
allowed? Desktop Widgets, access to system tray, file system (probably
limited), any WebGL patches?

Are there going to be any javascript frameworks included and how easy will
it be to get one in? I prefer Mootools for instance. Easy access to Clouds,
CDN, etc? Choice of IDEs?

Thanks for the answers.

Regards:
Bundyo
