In the classic definition of a "capitalist economic system", this is the point where someone (perhaps you?) gets together with several PalmOS expert developers, creates a syllabus, and contacts local community colleges offering to provide instructors and materials for a full credit course in PalmOS programming.
Another option would be creating an e-learning website with scheduled, instructor-led, "classroom" time as well as self-learning tools such as whitepapers, code samples, complete sample projects, manuals, user- and instructor-led forums, chat rooms, etc. Go for it! :) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, November 11, 2006 8:21 AM To: Palm Developer Forum Subject: Re: HiRes Display Thanks Don, Luckily I'm beyond that, I've been supporting our app now for about six months and can work somewhat with the CW compiler but just follow what is there. As I stated somewhere else, we have tried for several months to get help from both Metrowerks (no longer in existence) and Palm to no avail. All we wanted to know was where to get some trainer led classes. I asked palm back in May and just got an aswer about two weeks ago and it was another question at that. Palm does not answer phone calls or emails for that matter. all I got was join the forums. I know the forums are a great help, but like somebody else stated, nobody is getting paid so the answers come when somebody has time or finds the questions either smart, intelligent or interesting. well some of us don't have the time to be smart, intelligent or interesting. all we have is a big problem that some real training would solve. that's my beef. it's a real shame because the Palm platform itself is such a beautiful platform. I could go on for hours.... but... Thanks, this actually is being very cathartic I will continue to read and post and hopefully get some pose some intelligent questions that people don't find offensive beause they're lacking or up to their standards. dt.lcr ----- Original Message ----- From: "Don Albertson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Palm Developer Forum" <palm-dev-forum@news.palmos.com> Sent: Saturday, November 11, 2006 6:27 AM Subject: Re: HiRes Display > [EMAIL PROTECTED] said (on or about) 11/10/2006 10:54: >> Thank Pinus for you frank and obvious answer. >> Unfortunately some of us need some training where we can play with >> sample code and the tons of reference documenation found in the PODS does >> not help some body like me who is in a hurry to be productive and don't >> have the hugh amount of time trying to read and re-read the reference >> documentation to make some sense of it. where as in a training >> environment one gets to the subject quickly whithout having to beg >> anybody for help and having to be told to do the work yourself before you >> can ask the question. >> > > I hear what you are saying and understand it very well because when I > first decided to learn about Palm programming, I encountered many of > the same obstacles you describe.
