For a "simple proof-of-concept" app, you should use whatever you feel more comfortable with. If your app does any of the following:
- has multiple segments - includes an ARMlet that needs to maintain its own global data - uses advanced features of C++ (exceptions, RTTI) I'd recommend Codewarrior. Handling multiple code segments can be done in PODS, but it takes quite alot of "function labeling" to do so, wheras you can do the same thing in a few seconds with your mouse in Codewarrior. There are some experimental bits of open source code out there that you can use with GCC/PODS to get globals in an ARMlet. If you're not writing GPL code, or you're not willing to experiment with that sort of thing, Codewarrior is the option you'd want. If you're not doing ARMlet development, don't worry about it. :) Brandon On Mon, 14 Feb 2005 12:58:37 -0500, Muriph, Michael <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > I used CW 9.3 for a brief period six months back. > > I see the need to write a simple proof of concept for the sony treo > devices. > > Is the general consensus: > > 1) Go back to CW > 2) Use PODS as it is simply for the novice palm developer, me! > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Erico Franco > Sent: Monday, February 14, 2005 1:49 PM > To: Palm Developer Forum > Subject: Re: PODS vs CodeWarrior > > Roel Wijmans escreveu: > > >I'm currently using codewarrior 8 for Macintosh, but have access to a pc with > Codewarrior 9. > >I'm curious to hear peoples views on using PODS vs using CodeWarrior. > >I know the cost is a large contribution to using PODS, but if cost wasn't an > issue what would people use? > > > >What are the advantages to using PODS over Codewarrior or visa versa?.
