If you're going to use CodeWarrior the "CodeWarrior Palm OS Tutorial for Windows" is excellant. Even if you don't know C very well you couild get a lot out of it. There appears to be a question about CodeWarrior's availability for now though.

I don't know how is it in other environments but with prc-tools you create 2 or more files, depending on how big and complex your app is. One file is your .c source code another is your resource definition file (where you specify your forms, buttons, etc) and your header file (if any). And the prc file doesn't come just by compiling the source files. you need to generate the resource files (wich contain the forms and gui elements, bitmaps, etc) and put everything together in a way the palm os can understand (the prc file itself). I guess it's easier in most IDEs like codewarrior but if you are comfortable with command line tools then pilrc, build-prc and m68k-palmos-gcc won't be a big deal (and you can automate all the building process). If you use linux these tools are your only choice and they are available for windows too. I think your best source of information is foster's palm os programming bible but if you don't have a good C background it will be more dificult to learn. There is some tutorials online that might help you get started. One I remember is http://tangentsoft.net/palmfaq/articles/tutorial/ You might need some C references (just to remember some C specific stuff, if you don't have some C background It will be much harder to make it) like this: http://www.its.strath.ac.uk/courses/c/ or this one: http://www.cs.cf.ac.uk/Dave/C/CE.html Good luck.

I have done some tutorials on the web but I still have alot of unanswered questions. My first question is how many files do you have to create when creating an application with forms. I think from what I have gathered you make 2 files, 1 .h file and a .c file. when the 2 files are compiled they create a .prc file. Now the next question how does the form pages in the application know what to do when you click on the button, is it coded in the .c file? If someon has a good link to a good real beginners tutorial please let me know.
