Michael Mace has generated a lot of controversy among handheld developers with his posting "Mobile applications, RIP". It is no secret that the business of developing software for mobile devices has been changing. When was the last Palm Developers Conference? 2005? Products like Adobe Air are much more a sign of what is to come. Rather that have choosing between a web app or a native app, you can choose both.
The Chicago Palm Programmer's Group (CPPG) is dedicated to bringing together Chicago area PDA developers. Our goal is to be a resource where developers can meet and share their knowledge, experience, resources, and questions with other developers. We provide PDA programmers with meetings, discussion groups, forums, panels, lectures, and other similar programs concerned with the development and exchange of research data relevant to the Palm OS as well as other mobile platforms.
