I'm an experienced C++ programmer and have created several Windows Mobile apps in the past, and I've also created some advanced web pages using php, javascript, perl, css, and html.
It is true that you can create simple apps using basic html/javascript/css, however, it isn't so easy when you want to include the Pre Mojo controls in your apps. I've been struggling with understanding the Document Object Model (DOM) and the methods, etc. for the Mojo UI controls. Maybe a very experienced Javascript programmer wouldn't have such a hard time understanding the Mojo framework, but I'm having to brute-force my way through all of this.
Fortunately, there's lots of sample code floating around the net. I found the "Rough Cuts" online book somewhat ok, but I'm hoping for something better to come along in the next few months (crossing my fingers!).
