I think I may be ready to try my hand of writing some software for palm OS applications....any suggestions of what type of software I should use to write them? Please remember I will be a newbie at this so complex programs might not be the best starting place....

Carol,

I'm going to move this to the programming section since you'll get better answers there. To start with, you'll need to sign up as a Palm developer and get the Palm SDK and the Palm Emulator. You can check out the common software tools at http://www.palmos.com/dev/tools/ . There really isn't any Palm software development that's not complex - some are just more complex than others.:) C and C++ are the two common professional development languages although you can also use some flavors of visual basic, which makes things a little easier. If you've done any software development for the PC, things will be a little easier but, if you've never done any software development before, Palm software development can be pretty daunting.
