Palm Programming: An Introduction

摘要

Developing applications for a Palm device can be costly. Not only that, but it can be confusing and difficult. However, it doesn't have to be all that (well, not costly, anyway). Using free or very low-cost tools, you can get underway almost immediately and be developing programs that run on the Palm in no time. What's out there, other than Code Warrior, which costs $399.00? Don't get me wrong, Code Warrior is an excellent compiler ... it's just the price that's the problem. A few years ago, after buying my first Palm device, I came upon that very question. Palm developed a superb SDK or Software Development Kit, which is even available as a free download. (See the Links sidebar for the URL.) That's nice and all, but you still need a compiler to compile all the files that came with the SDK, not to mention your own program files.
