2/24 Looking for a good tutorial for learning to program for the Palm.
troll I'd prefer to be in a unix environment, but, whatever makes it
troll easeies/most efficeint. pointers?
troll \_ most people use MetroWerks CodeWarrior for Palm, so that'd be the
troll most painless to use. (But it also costs money and is available for
troll only Windows and MacOS.) For gcc, you'll need PRC-Tools
troll ( http://www.palmos.com/dev/tech/tools/gcc ). I found most
troll tutorials to be long-winded and a waste of time (Palm's CodeWarrior
troll tutorial is ~200 pages). I think the best way to learn would be to
troll look at the sample code Palm provides and read the SDK companion and
troll reference documents. You may find the Palm OS Programmer's FAQ
troll useful ( http://www.cyberport.com/~tangent/palm/faq ) --jameslin
troll \_ Why would you want to program for palm?
troll \_ because programming for WinCE is painful
troll \_ Missing the point: why would you want to program for any
troll the toyish hand held devices?
troll \_ as opposed to which other hand held devices? -ali
troll \_ Playstation, Xbox, etc. are all toys, too. Why would
troll anyone want to program for them? |
