Pocket Smalltalk Tutorial
This tutorial steps you through the development of a simple (one form,
one button) application using Pocket Smalltalk. It is assumed you
have at least a basic familiarity with Smalltalk, but that is not
absolutely required. In order to follow this tutorial you should have
the following components installed:
- Pocket Smalltalk
- HotSync software (or equivalent) for your PalmPilot, or else a PalmPilot
emulator running on your PC.
- The PilRC resource compiler (you can use a different resource
compiler as long as it lets you control assignment of resource IDs).
Make sure you have pilrc.exe in your
search path. Alternatively, you could simply place
it in the Pocket Smalltalk directory and run it from there.
Once you have everything installed, follow these steps to create
your first application:
- Start a new project.
- Using the Class Browser.
- Create application resources.
- Add application resources to your project.
- Create an Application class.
- Generate an executable application.
- Create bindings to PalmOS widgets.
