CodeWarrior

This first tutorial goes through CodeWarrior. As most Palm OS application development takes place in CodeWarrior, it seemed like a good place to start. Here is what the tutorial describes:

  • What CodeWarrior includes (which tools you install and use)

  • How to install and use the newest 4.0 SDK from Palm with CodeWarrior

  • How to install a PilRC plug-in

  • How to use some stationery (OReilly Starter) that we provide, which makes creating a new project much easier

  • Making a PRC file

  • A quick walkthrough of the CodeWarrior IDE

  • Using Constructor to create resources

This is a graphical resource editor.
