Subject: Newbie developer needs direction: Palm Resources (buttons), C & PODS From: Phil Kelly <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Tue, 13 Jul 2004 21:42:58 -0500
OK, I'm taking the plunge and have decided to do a little application development and after struggling on my own for 2 weeks, I think it's time to seek the advice of the collective.
First, I'm not a C programmer: at best I'm a C hack. Regardless, I decided to try PODS as a first environment. Luckily I've worked with another Eclipse-based IDE so that helps a bit, but the basics of Palm programming are not revealing themselves.
Seems like you are doing this the hard way. Perhaps you'd be better of licensing a copy of the Metrowerks Codewarrior 9.x compiler for Palm OS and using the standard Palm SDK.
Remember that the primary focus of PODS is an early release of development software for a future version of Palm OS. While it can be used for current versions of Palm OS, there are more stable solutions available to you, unless your objective to develop applications targeted at this future version of Palm OS.
Note: I use the phrase "future version" as there are no hardware products either announced or strongly rumored that use this OS version.
