I’m going to preDevCamp, and I’m bringing…
Thanks to the SF PDC for compiling this list
So you’re all pumped up to come to preDevCamp but you don’t know what to bring, here is a list that can help you have a great time at camp.
1. A Laptop running one of the 3 supported operating systems in at least a virtual machine if not as the main OS (32 bit windows -xp or vista, Mac OSX, Linux)
2. A thumb drive or a cd with the SDK to share with your neighbor if they forget it. Get it at http://developer.palm.com
3. Your coolest geek shirt. Don’t have one? you still have time to order one from think geek
4. An Idea of what you want to build or help build.
5. Your palm pre – you have one right? if not you will have several chances to win one. Ideally in developer mode.
6. Graphic Design software if you’re a designer – Adobe Fireworks works best. Get the trial here.
7. An IDE – Eclipse works best and palm has special plugins for it. http://developer.palm.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1639
8. Paper or a notebook for sketching ideas and notes. – Portable whiteboards are cool too.
9. Hacker / devhouse / excitement to learn / can do spirit – without this you will have no fun, and at the end of the day I hope that is what you have.
10. Have a great camp!
Please add more ideas in the comments!
Thanks guys!

While Palm officially supports Eclipse (sort of) there is a strong case to be made for Komodo Open Edit (the free one) with Austin’s WebOS toolkit, which includes full integration with the Palm SDK along with complete word-completion for Mojo, and integration with creating, building, launching and inspecting apps.
Austin is working with the Komodo core team to integrate gui debugging using the built in d8 debugger on the emulator as well within the next week or so. An alpha of that product will be available to see at PDC KC (exclusively).
But the free Komodo ide for webOS is ready now at http://webos.templarian.com/komodo/

One other thing to bring. A stack of 4×6 notecards is a GREAT way to prototype pre User Interfaces.
