The BlackBerry Developers Blog has posted that the developer documentation has been updated and there are some new developer manuals available for BlackBerry 6. These new manuals outline some features of the BlackBerry 6 WekKit browser and how to implement these new features into your applications. The new manuals are:
- Feature and Technical Overview – detailed overview of the key features of the browser on BlackBerry 6, as well as the architecture and supported content types of the new web platform.
- HTML Reference Guide – includes information about supported HTML elements (including HTML5), attributes and input type modes.
- JavaScript Reference Guide – contains technical details about the various supported JavaScript® APIs, such as Core, Events, Canvas, Geolocation, XmlHTTPRequest, etc.
- CSS Reference Guide – a robust guide that organizes the supported CSS properties (including CSS3) into logical categories such as text, tables, backgrounds, etc.
If you are a developer you can check out these new manuals to begin using some of these new tools in your apps and if you just want to check out the new features you can do that as well. These new features are exciting and getting this information into the hands of developers means we will be seeing better webkit integration in apps. Who’s excited about better web apps on their BlackBerry?
