Plua Palm Version

wiki

It is a great onboard environment for development just on the Palm. You can use it either in a simple REP (Read - Evaluate - Print) loop style or compile and run apps with a user interface. It uses a runtime file on the device as support.

Source is stored in memos or doc documents.

It includes simple Palm extensions to allow you to do most useful things:

• quickly define a GUI without having to edit resources
• manipulate databases
• use serial and other comms
• play with trivial turtle graphics.

Home page, with older Plua 1.1 version http://meusite.uai.com.br/~mmand/plua/plua.htm

Active Yahoo Group at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/plua/ including some sample files and latest beta (essential for Tungsten and other later Palms).

I started these Plua wiki pages because I am accustomed to using a Wiki and wanted to make it easier to capture some of the better discussions rather than searching the mailing list archives.

• PluaMenus
• PluaRuntime
• PluaDev -- Plua development information

DEFINITELY join the Yahoo group if you have any interest in Plua -- the site doesn't appear to be getting regular maintenance, and some of the links have died.

Plua v1.1 has TCP networking support, sort of -- it works well enough for batch-style purposes (HTTP, for example) but seems to have problems which get in the way of real full-duplex interactivity. Still, it's a million times better than nothing.
