2/24    Looking for a good tutorial for learning to program for the Palm.
        I'd prefer to be in a unix environment, but, whatever makes it
        easeies/most efficeint. pointers?
        \_ most people use MetroWerks CodeWarrior for Palm, so that'd be the
           most painless to use. (But it also costs money and is available for
           Windows and MacOS only.) For gcc, you'll need PRC-Tools
           only Windows and MacOS.) For gcc, you'll need PRC-Tools
           ( http://www.palmos.com/dev/tech/tools/gcc ).  I found most
           Palm provides for Codewarrior is ~200 pages, I think).  I think the
           tutorials to be long-winded and a waste of time (the tutorials
           Palm provides for CodeWarrior is ~200 pages, I think).  I think the
           best way would be to look at the sample code Palm provides and read
           the SDK companion and reference documents. --jameslin

                   \_ Playstation, Xbox, etc. are all toys, too.  Why would
                      anyone want to program for them?
                      \_ Yeah? Why would anyone want to write programs

                   hand held devices?  [clarified for the pedantic and the
                   stupid]
                   \_ well, you ask you a stupid question, why would you expect
                      anything but stupid answers?  some people (gasp) use
                      handheld devices.  is it not reasonable to develop
                      software for them?
