If you have any doubts about the influence application developers have on pop culture, just look at Angry Birds. If you haven’ t heard of this game yet, where have you been? It’ s everywhere. On PCs, netbooks, tablets, hand-held gaming systems, and where it originated – smartphones.

One of the latest iterations was made for the Palm Pre, using HP WebOS. If you thought developing applications was just about coding, think again. It’ s becoming an art form in its own right, capable of creating apps like Angry Birds that permeate the Internet’ s consciousness.

The people who create these works of art aren’t just developers – they’re Mobile Expressionists. That’s how the people behind WebOS are thinking about developers – as artists.

WebOS has created a compelling community around the operating system. One that encourages engagement, allowing developers to learn, grow, and move beyond just coding and into creating. WebOS is built on the same technologies as the Web – html, javascript, css – so the barrier to entry is fairly low, especially for new developers. In addition, WebOS makes it easier for developers to build applications capable of running on multiple operating systems.

For example, PhoneGap is an open source tool that runs on several mobile platforms, allowing for cross-platform integration. It bypasses the need for specific- platform SDK, facilitating high-level coding based on Web standards.

And you can get in on this now. By enrolling in the WebOS developer program, you’ll become a part of this vibrant community, receive the WebOS newsletter, learn more about the platform, and be able to interact with other developers. You’ll also be eligible to sign up for the discounted device program, which offers discounts to qualified developers on Palm devices to help you in creating applications.

Who knows? You may just create the next Web sensation and topple those birds from their perch.
