Getting Started with WebOS
==========================
This guide describes how to set up your development environment for Cordova and run a sample application. Note that Cordova used to be called PhoneGap, so some of the sites still use the old PhoneGap name.

2. Install SDK + Cordova
----------------------------

- Download and install [cygwin SDK](http://developer.palm.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&layout=page&id=1788&Itemid=321) (Windows only). Make sure you select "make" as it is not included by default
- Download the latest copy of [Cordova](http://phonegap.com/download) and extract its contents. We will be working with the webOS directory.

- Download and install Command Line Tools for XCode (OSX only); this can be done by going to XCode's Preferences -> Downloads -> Components and then click install on Command Line Tools
3. Setup New Project
--------------------
- Open up terminal/cygwin and navigate to where you extracted your Cordova Download. Go into the webOS directory.
4. Hello World

In phonegap/webOS/framework/www, open up index.html with your favourite editor. After the body tag add `<h1>Hello World</h1>`
5A. Deploy to Simulator
-----------------------
- Open up your Palm Emulator from your applications folder/start menu.
- Type `make` in your terminal/cygwin while in the webOS directory.
5B. Deploy to Device
--------------------
- Make sure your device is in [Developer Mode and plug it in.](http://developer.palm.com/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=1552&amp;Itemid=59#dev_mode)
