This chapter presented the fundamentals of conduit development using VB. At this point, you should understand what a conduit is and how it fits into Palm’s HotSync architecture. You should be comfortable with building and running conduits under the Palm HotSync manager, and you should be able to address the issues encountered when designing a conduit.
There are many resources available from Palm to assist in the conduit development process. The Palm OS development web site has a page for conduit development at http://www.palmos.com/dev/tech/conduits. This web page has several resources, including an active mailing list, the Palm knowledge base, and links to documentation.
There are two sets of official Palm documents for the CDK. One set is based on the COM specification, and the other is based on the C/C++ language. Like all Palm documentation, the sets come in two parts: a Reference and a Companion. The companion document explains high-level concepts; the reference provides a description of every class, method, and property in the CDK. Other documentation on the web site includes presentations from the PalmSource developer conferences on conduit development.
Palm OS Programming (O’Reilly & Associates, Inc.), now in its second edition, provides a lot of detail and insight into conduit logic and the inner workings of the HotSync manager. Be aware, however, that the book is intended primarily for C/C++ developers.
