I'm new to Blackberry application development and I need a piece of advise. I want to start developing Blackberry applications. I'm having a hard time making a choice whether I should use Java Development or Webworks.
According to what I learnt about webworks, it loads a lot when navigating from one screen to another as compared to the generic java applications. I also learnt that for some reasons, your blackberry webworks application might not just work on some blackberry models, despite the models meeting the requirements to run a webworks application.
I will very much appreciate if I can get an advise which is better and the best approach to start (books I can get to get me started).
Thanks very much for your time.
I develop in both HTML5/Javascript and Java. Both have its pro's and cons.
HTML5/Javascript: 1. I find the layout of the UI to be easier and more flexible. 2. UI is developed once and applied to multiple devices (smartphones and playbook)
JAVA 1. Better logic 2. Better support available when needed 3. Better IDE (eclipse) will speed up development.
I have however decided to do all new projects in webworks as this is the future for all blackberry apps
