After a short while of private testing with developers, Palm‘s latest killer development platform, Ares, is now opened for public beta.

This development platform is built entirely on web, developers do not need to download anything.  Just goto http://ares.palm.com to start coding, visually.  The platform is also made easy for developer collaboration and app submission to Palm’s App Catalog.

Ares includes

• Complete integrated development environment
  • Drag-and-drop interface builder
  • Code editor
  • Visual debugger
  • Log viewer
  • Source control integration
• Fingertip access to the full library of Mojo UI widgets
• Push-button project & scene creation
• Drag-and-drop file upload
• Instant project upload & download for seamless desktop/cloud workflow
• Preview apps in the browser
• Run apps directly on the webOS emulator or device (requires SDK installation)
• Use Ares in Safari, Chrome or Firefox

By releasing Ares, Palm is hoping to get more developers to develop for the WebOS platform and eventually more apps for WebOS platform.

What do you think, developers?
