- Programming on a Handheld
- Posted by Ed on June 30th, 2003
I am looking at buying a handheld to do some programming on. I just
need some suggestions. Which is the best to do programming on and
software also. I am looking at doing c++ and maybe assembly..of course
assembly will be much harder to use on a handheld. Due to the processor
specific nature of assembly. Any ideas. I was looking at the dell axim
x5, with the 300mhz xscale.

Although you will be developing on the handheld... which *platform*
are you developing for.......
Particularly for assembly... it makes the world of difference.........
In terms of developing ... for both c++ and assembly all you *need* is
a text editor... heck you could even do it on a Palm :-)

Look at the Sharp Zaurus - it already comes with Linux. And gcc is
available to run directly on the Z as well as cross compilers for
Windows, Linux, MacOS X. And the Z also understands JAVA.

(My ISPs newserver misplaced earlier notes in this thread, so I'm
replying here.)
I've never used Pocket C or NSBasic, but they are not very expensive,
support programming _on_ handhelds, and support several platforms,
including Windows CE.
Microsoft's tools for Windows CE programming are cross-compilers. So
you compile _for_, but not _on_ the handhelds. For more info about
tools (including Microsoft's and others), see:

However, programs like Pocket C or NSBasic are great for building programs
for the Pocket PC, also, Pocket C is really a high-level scriptor that
uses a run-time to run. (like basic is to us) it does not compile to
binary code.
However, if like me, you like to catch up on _REAL_ programming work, that
you do on Visual Studio 6.0/7.0 etc... Then all you need is really a C++
Editor. And one that understand Visual Studio's project file(s). etc...
For that I use, CEdit... Its a great C++ Editor... Great for review code,
and putting in comments, and re-evaluating my work... while on the go...
Then I sync and work, and voila... compile and test...
