Palm webOS Programming Chapter 6 Released

Mahootzki lets us know that Chapter 6 of the Palm webOS programming book is now available at Safari Books.  The chapter is titled "Data" and focuses on using Cookies, the "depot," HTML 5 storage, and AJAX.  Essentially your average web app hasn't historically done a great job of storing data locally, but with HTML 5 you can and Palm is utilizing that web standard for apps on the webOS.

Of course, if your app is fairly simple and/or you don't want to hassle with database queries, webOS also makes some local storage available to you via a special call: "Mojo.Depot()" -- with it you can use up to 5 megs of storage for your app.
