These are some of my programming adventures (past, present, and planned for the future...) with BeOS . With each project I provide a journal of resources I found useful, pitfalls I ran into, etc. so that other programmers new to BeOS can learn from my mistakes.
I only have a few hours a week to spare for "fun" programming projects, so I expect updates on this page to be slow.
