I am a developer for palm applications, are there any ideas out there that would be worth programming?  I have drawn blanks, and have no idea what to do.

hmm, palm applications, i'm not sure on there limitations, so here's a few simple things you could do, design a suduko game, a lot of people are playing it, and it's totally addictive.. God knows i love it :D you could also do a simple business app, maybe data connection to computers, thats faster than the current, the only other thing i could add is to find something already done, and make it better, hope any of that will help ye:D\n\nR3dm0

Hi Sam,\n\nIf you're new to programming - but want a really robust solution - you should really check out Servoy. With Servoy you can deploy via client/server AND/OR the web at the same time from the same code base.\n\nThe programming language can be either JavaScript or inline Java - and there is a object model tree and you can double-click to create code. Also, there are "samples" for each of the available functions that will all work with a single click - so you can learn as you go.\n\nIt has point-and-click form control, and you can create relations between different tables (and even between different SQL database engines) with a few clicks - WITHOUT having to know any SQL programming.\n\nYou can have people log in without them having to install anything, and if, down the road, you want to offer offline capabilities - that's available as well.\n\nI would stay away from desktop database products like FileMaker, Access, etc. because they use proprietary databases, don't scale, are a NIGHTMARE to update on the client side, and are difficult to maintain.\n\nJust my $0.02 worth - I hope this helps.

Yes; java is hot right now and could be a great benefit to you.  It teaches you a lot about low level lanquages and the computer interface to the hardware.  At times though I question the efficency of the language.  It takes a lot of time compared to some tools.

Maybe you need to download Java. It's free. Go to:\nhttp://www.java.com/en/

lol.. this is a tuffy... if i had more time i could definitely advice... maybe u should try posting this on forums.aapfree.com ... where the real programming pros are.

Your program is only a good as the documentation. Your program may be a work of art, but if it is not documented properly, then it will not achieve it's full potential. It is the same with any system design.  If it is not documented properly, or is not worded in plain english, then\nthe entire system suffers.

Let's see now... Why don't we add a proper POSIX shell, move the graphics subsystem so it's less binded to the kernel (rather like X), open the code up the code under the GPL for peer review, add proper virtual file system support to the file manager (like Konqueror), add a more flexible panel (like Kicker), replace the registry with easier to manage text-based configuration files, and, well you can see where I'm going with this one...

As a "gem programmer" (modesty off) who was recently interviewed I can assure that there's only one way: to see their work. Ask them to show you their early works and talk about it.\n\nA couple years ago I was team leader with 17 developers. One programmer was great, articles in CUJ etc. - and worth nothing for the company. He just did his own hobby, neglecting the projects.\n\nHe could pass any test you can think about, but still, you got nothing usable from him.\n\nAnd as myself, after a couple million USD value software produced and sold, I will fail "clever" tests like the details of "cout" function - I never used it, and I saw it only in examples or logging.\n\nAnd when you hire a bad programmer, he/she will tend to hire/retain even worse coworkers. The result will be bugs and missed market.\nOnly Microsoft can survive such thing. :)

I could develop one for you in PHP or ASP if you're using these.\n\nIf you are interested, visit http://tash.inspired4real.com/\nand leave me a message.

They would need Python (probably PHP-GTK too).\n\nYou could poke around on the python site to see how to include python install or just put the installation file on a CD with your app.

If you want to do application development (programming) or OS development (systems programming) or network engineering (Network Operations Managment) you should not specialize in one OS like Symbian. You should work towards learning how to do your development on any OS or system class. Symbian is mostly just a few cell phone and embedded system manufacturers and it's popularity is not that great. The competitors in this class are PalmOS, Windows CE, Windows (XP) Embedded, and some other lightweight OSes like the Playstation 3 OS and the Nintendo Wii OS (which may be Symbian or may be able to run it since they're going to support Opera as their browser). Think long and hard as to whether you want to limit yourself to one device and/or category!\n\nBTW Nokia uses Symbian on a number of devices as does Motorola. Both use it mainly to run Java applications. Java happens to be platform independent, even on the small scale devices.

A lecturer once gave me some advice.  He was on an interview panel and gave some code to a potential candidate.  He asked what was wrong with the code - as it turns out there was nothing wrong with it, but he wanted to see how the candidate deals with logical progession in program flow.  That said, I have added some links to a sites you may find useful as a starting point . . .

Visit\nhttp://www.backbase.com/\nThe master piece on AJAX and a framework too... I am also in search of this particular technology it has a good implementation in PHP and mysql... Still in evolution ...

I note that no one has attempted to answer this so far.\n\nPerhaps it's because you have not given us enough information.  What are you trying to do?\nWhat program?

What do you want to learn about Oracle?\nI assume that you want to learn Oracle Database programming or maybe Oracle Database Administration.\nI don't have any tutorials, but i am sending a link to the Oracle tutorial, i hope it helps.

I disagree with the statement that the GUI isn't well developed.  What do you think Gnome or KDE are?  They're just as developed as windows in my opinion.  On the flip side, you can do millions of different things with Windows and you are not limited to just watching movies or browsing.  It all depends on your knowledge of the system.  Read up a little more.
