Sugar Dave's Place

<sarcasm>Since I don't have enough side projects going</sarcasm>, I decided to jump into software development for the Palm Pre. Finally, my refusal to do Web development until the last couple years is biting me in the ass. I know next to nothing about JavaScript, HTML 5, AJAX, etc., which, of course, are all the things you need to know to develop applications for webOS (the operating system for the Pre and other devices coming soon from Palm.)

I have made some progress. I've been writing a Geocaching application and have gotten far enough that I can take a .gpx file (XML) from a pocket query and parse the entries into JSON objects to store in a database. I can also use the system services to display current latitude and longitude.

I'm not sure what to work on next....it will probably be the UI for target/waypoint management. At some point I have to figure out what I'm going to do for a navigation display. I'm probably going to imitate the venerable GeoNiche in this area. Hopefully, I will be able to get some hints/tips from that author.
