Well that depends on your skill level with PalmOS. As a beginner who had
been only doing PalmOS stuff for a week, the class was well worth the $2K
(of course it didnt come out of my pocket). I learned more in the first day
than I had figured out in an entire week of working on my own. I took the 5
day class.
The instructor I had (JB Parrett) has done real-world PalmOS programming for
a few years so he has a high level of technical knowledge. However, he is
also a good instructor and can communicate his technical knowledge without
losing the novices.
Do keep in mind that it is an introductory class. The materials were
written for version 3.1. Hopefully they will revise them for 3.5 soon.
Conduit development was only touched on. I think the class was a great way
to get started in PalmOS programming.
