The followings are what I 've done ( for developing projects on Treo 600 ) : - looked for a project - bought a Treo600 and service ( in fact, I am lucky on this, my customer gave me all of these, and a TungstenC, too :-) ) - when I have a problem, I look into those books and web sites . If I do not find an answer, I will look for help from this forum.( and if sometimes I can find an easy-to-answer question, I will try to reply :-) ) Something else : you may need to register to Handspring Developers ( now it 's under PalmOne ) and download the Treo600 Developer's Guide and the Treo600 simulator and other stuff. Another website that I don't see in your list is the archive for this forum http://www.escribe.com/computing/pcpqa/index.html Vu > > > Begin forwarded message: > > All, > > > > I hope this won't intrude into your list reading too much, but I'm > > just getting into Palm development again, and I would really like to > > get community input on some questions.
