Palm programming in C using GCC

Palm C people,

I have had a Palm device foist upon me, so I wrote a nice game for it,
but I don't know what newsgroup to use to find out info about straight C
programming on the Palm. There seem to be a plethora of Palm newsgroups,
but most about how to get Calendar to work. Can any C people who program
for the Palm (and presumably check in here) let me know the best place
to find out about Palm issues.

A sample of my current questions for Palm Development (note: I do not
expect an answer here, just a pointer to where to go, so OT Police can
go have another donut and ignore this post):

o How can I change a menu on the fly based on a user selecting a menu
item?
o (How) Can I include a checkbox in a menu, to toggle a user option?
o Do I need a separate menu for every possible combination of user
toggles?

You get the idea. I need to know whether I can manipulate menus on the
fly, or if I need to have every possible menu in my resource file, and a
huge case statement or something to pick the correct one.

The Palm OS is very primitive. altho they have moved on to ARM, you
still need to support the old devices, if you can - and my game can, so
I end up using version 3 (my game "needs" color). [this is probably more
info than needed]

This seems to be another ploy by Microsoft to push the competition out. Why in the world would MS pick a file extension of .PDB for their DotNet project files, when Palm has been using this file extension for years! As a consequence to "us" consumers, who also use Palm OS devices, we now have to redefine our file extension of PDB to be Palm Database files, once we've installed VSDotNet, in order to be able to click and install Palm .PDB...

I know this topic comes up every so often - so I thought I would annoy everyone and ask again..... I am looking for a way to write PHP apps on a Palm based computer. Why? Because I like PHP, and the whole Palm OS paradigm is very web-server like (from a user point of view). If the you envionsion a plam screen as a web browser and the Palm DB as either a database or file system, you could easily and quickly build PHP apps for palms.

I've found "Python to Palm Pilot Port" <http://www.isr.uci.edu/projects/sensos/python/> and Pippy <http://sourceforge.net/projects/pippy> which both seem to be based on Python 1.5 Is there some implementation that implements later versions of Python? jem

I will soon be purchasing my first PDA for use on my job and I would like to (in time) create a sync between the Access db that I use on my desktop and something for the pda.

My first assumption would be that a "pockePC" running Windows Mobile would be the best choice since Microsoft Windows, Microsoft Access, however, from my research thus far, Microsoft does...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
