So you have registered for a Launchpad account, now what you say? The next thing you should do is follow the spaces you are interested in. Before we get into that, all content in Launchpad is centered around the concept of a Space. Within each space, there are three types of content Blogs, Documents and Dicsussion. There are also sub-spaces within a space.

There is definitely a lot of great information in Launchpad. It spans across the 3 main types of content in the system Blogs, Discussions and Documents. Here are some really quick ways to browse through the content to learn something new each day:

If you read the post, you already know that you configure RhoElements to launch into an application by changing the parameter in the Config.XML. This location is either on the local file system (ex: file://RhoApps/index.html) or it could be on a remote web server (ex: http://192.168.1.65/index.html).

So by now we have all grown accustomed to flicking our fingers around with wild abandon on our phone to just about do everything. Do you even remember what a stylus is used for? Unless you are working with big heavy gloves on, or need a stylus for signature capture or something else, chances are your users will have to navigate through your application by using their fingers for just about everything. Yeah sure, tap here to press a button, swipe here to scroll the content - that is child's play.

When are developing a RhoElements application one thing that may come in handy is to enabling logging to your PC while you are testing the application on the actual device. To do that, you need to do two things:

1) Enable Logging in the Config.XML

2)

In this series, I will guide you in developing your very first RhoElements application. For an we will use an actual app that we developed for our developer conference. The application we will be building is an Event Attendee Tracker. For the Developer Conference we wanted to track who was going to which specific breakout sessions of the conference and the badges that were printed included a QR code formatted barcode.

Before we get into coding, let's first download and install RhoElements. After downloading, simply launch the executable and walk through the install wizard. If you connect your device to your computer RhoElements will automatically be installed.

In this part of the blog series, we will build a simple Hello Scan application and run it on the mobile device.

In the of the , we have a basic HTML file (our app) that has placeholders for content and simple javascript functions for enabling the scanner and handling the decode event.

In the of this , we created javascript functions to create the database and associated tables we will be using. We also loaded the Developer Conference session data into the table.
