Michael, I know what you mean as I have just completed my first project and experienced a lot of frustration at every step due to lack of information. I remember the first problem I had which was getting data from a database into a field, an item which you would think would be pretty high on the basics.
At the moment I am struggling with the apparent complete lack of information concerning registration keys and some obscure (to me) thing called RPN strings, a topic which one would think would be paramount to any developer. However all I can find so far is a black hole of disinformation. Examples and information are around but you really have to dig for them and Palm just does not see fit to help developers in any way as far as I am concerned. All I can say is persevere and dig and if ever you are really in trouble try Experts Exchange where you pay a small price for top help.
