Palm Developer Center has introduced Project Ares, which is the first mobile development environment hosted entirely in a browser. This makes it a lot easier for web developers to jump into mobile development, thus help the webOS developers to sell their applications in Palm’s App Catalog or on the web.

To get started, first you need to sign up, or if you are already a Palm developer, then you need to sign in using your Palm Developer Account. After signing in, Palm wants you to read the docs and discuss and share feedback. So if you are a developer, go on and give it a try, and let us know how it goes.

Do not forget to try it out, build many, many useful apps, and give Palm your feedback so they can better Ares and webOS as much as possible. Palm is inviting everyone to Project Ares now that has become available to all developers as a public beta.

You’ll find the Features of Project Ares below:
