Ok I have spent enough time searching for Netbeans 5.5 tutorials and even books on MIDP programming for my poor little Zire 72 handheld Palm device. I will be coaching soccer in a couple months and I thought I could crank out a quick little program to help manage my Soccer team. I have downloaded many various program trials and most are close but the one that did everything was $50. Come on, to train some U9 girls soccer team. I said to myself, I just need to learn how to write java for my Zire 72 and that will be good enough. I have been able to program in any language I need to, by learning the concepts of the language and environment.
I professionally program in IBM's RPGILE but I have taught myself to program in PHP, HTML, I can write JavaScript I have set up my own Apache server and am able to configure that for whatever testing I need. I have learned Java and have programmed applets and JSP pages both as a hobby and in part of my AS400 professional career.
I have been playing with the Googleverse and have "mashed" together my own domain www.dameryworld.com I have been dabbling with creating a Firefox skin and I have tried out the Google domains application...(Not what I was expecting) I am all about reuse of code so the whole Web 2.0 or 3.0 or whatever they call it now is Great for me. I was about to try and put together a PHP flat file CMS using a dynamically created xml data base but I think I will have to just get with everyone else and use the MySql database...I do know how to manage data.
However I go back to my original issue of finding some direction in learning the programming process for Java on a Palm Zire 72. I can find nothing. So, I am just going to dive in with my previous experience of writing Java code back in the Java2 days and push through the issues till I have an application running on my Palm Zire 72 device.
If anyone knows what the programming procedures are that would be great. I am trying to use the visual design process in the New Netbeans 5.5 IDE. I use the IBM Websphere IDE to program for the iSeries in RPGILE so I have something of an idea of the eclipse applications.
I am a fan of Programming and I hope to soon modify this Blog with my own XML, XSTL, DTD style if you know what I mean.

Hi Damery,
Found your post on Google alerts. I have done some Java programming on Canon copiers which essentially runs J2ME (Micro Edition) which is what you most likely need to be looking at. I also did a tad bit of "hello world" programming on my blackberry. In both cases I had a spec and API to program against and I am guessing Palm also has this. Check out their website.
On another note, I have never found another tech person in the iSeries arena that has even heard of Rez Band (I revieved your profile)! I think my first album of theirs was Civil Rights and then Reach Of Love.
Hope all is well with you,
Aaron Bartell
