Well, a month into the OPL Tutorials (and associated competition) I'm getting feedback from some people via email (thanks, you know who you are), but I'm interested to see what people here think of the courses, whether they are actually useful, and if you plan to do anything.
Of course, those entering the competition have done the form of interest already... haven't you?
But I want other people to comment, those just thinking about it, or looking in curiously. It's you we're aiming these tutorials at.
OPL?
nahh...
I code without it 8)
Good for you then! Now, how many people will join you, even though they might be scared of C++, Java, and Object Orientated Code? That's who OPL is aimed at!
As a person who has spent most of his time programmming on IBM mainframes in JCL and REXX , OPL represents a less steep learning curve. Although the programs may well be less safasiticated ( in some ways ) then C++ and Java ones they can be just as useful and entertaining.
Hi!
I think OPL on the 9210 etc. is worth a look for all beginners.
If it only was better documented ....
Cheers,

Hi
I tried to write a OPL-program with the following features:
- put the gclock-date on the nokia-9210-system tray like the battery / connection status and the system time
- this date should be visible in all nokia-applications
But I found nothing in the tutorials and my program shows the date only in separate white screen.
I suppose that I need C++ to realize something like this?
Best regards

Unfortunatly OPL cannot change the appearance of the left hand side information bar, so you won't be able to get the clock there I'm afraid.
OK, no problem.
Does it work with C++?
(I�ll get my Nokia-SDK-CD in a week)
Best regards

I think that all three languages (j2me, c++ and opl) have their place and i'm definitely interested in opl. Afaik it's not that difficult to learn (did some coding on my old revo a few years back) and i'm sure that it perfectly fits several programming tasks (though i'm not quite sure which, yet).
