Has anyone on the list been to the Palm sponsored training? If so, would anyone
care to comment? Was it worth it?
I just took Neil Rhodes' Palm sponsored course last week. I'd
consider myself a fairly experienced Palm developer and I thought it
was great! Neil's a good teacher and the course is designed well.
About half the time is lectures with occasional demos. The other half
is labs where pairs of students work together on a PC with occasional
help from Neil. The exercises make the knowledge stick. There are
"extra credit" questions to keep the more experiences
developers on their toes.
Some of the things I learned:
- You can't have more than one field editing the same record in-place unless they're in a table (which only really has a single field).
- How to use Rez and Derez.
- How to use the system Edit menu item handling.
- How to build, debug, and install a conduit.
- How to work around lots of bugs!
Some of the things that weren't covered:
- DmAttachRecord.
- Handling find and goto launch codes.
I'd recommend the course but I'd try to get Neil. As with any
course, the teacher is the most important element, more important
than the subject even.
