Are you initializing a lot of variables in
It sounds like your in a similar boat - except you started with AppForge
instead of NSBasic. I just wish the learning curve was not so steep.

Only partially. The IDE looks nice. I didn't really look closely at the code
any of those systems produced. I only really mentioned

This is why I would advocate learning C. There is a learning curve with any
language you choose to use if you are new to the Palm. I'm just suggesting

What percentage of C programs do not contain or use one of:
libc
stlib
stdio
PalmOSRuntime_2i_A5.lib
MathLib.prc
etc. ?

Being one of the authors of both PocketC and OrbForms, I have a very biased
view. If you are looking for a RAD tool, OrbForms Designer is pretty fast
(compared to other non-native compilers), and most importantly is very easy
to use. It does not require

It looks surprisingly like... Visual Basic, for C. It still uses a runtime

a subset of C (OC?)...
PocketC is a nice tool for very quick (and dirty) developm

Sorry - what is an IDE?
There is also something called NSBasics (www.nsbasics.com) -
NS Basic's speed depends what you're trying to do. If it's heavy CPU
crunching, C will certainly be much faster (and can be called from NSB).
More typical Palm apps, with forms and objects, don't have that much of a
speed difference since NS Basic makes heavy use of the Palm APIs. With
version
NSBasic is okay, but I wish I would have taken the time to learn C. NSBasic
probably creates the slowest apps imaginable, plus requites their huge run-
time module. It is easy to program though if you're looking to get something
out the door quickly.

Not sure if most, but it's one of the main development
tools for PalmOS.

Sorry, should have written that differently. AppForge is the only IDE -that

I have a personal grudge against VB (it was forced upon me during highschool
and I've had an aversion to it ever since, besides the fact that it's from
Microsoft) but I love Palm programming. I have heard about VB tools for
Palm, though using them would incur a large amount of overhead

As a Visual Basic programmer who recently took an interest in OS
