To assist with some of the more advanced methods of using CASL, please see the following tutorials.

Tutorial Description

Automatic Builds

The purpose of this tutorial is to demonstrate how CASL can be scripted to automatically build projects for multiple ESD's (Electronic-Sales-Distribution).  ESD's such as PalmGear, Handango, PocketGear, etc. require custom versions of your applications to identify where the customer should purchase your products.

CASL HTTP Tutorial

In this tutorial we will demonstrate how CASL can be used to create advanced networking applications to send and receive data across a network. The protocol demonstrated in this example is HTTP. In addition, a complete sample application is provided that will allow you to quickly and easily integrate this functionality directly into your own CASL applications.

Advanced CASL Installers

This tutorial demonstrates how InnoSetup can be used to enhance and customize CASL 4.3 application installers.  This tutorial is best-suited for PocketPC / Windows Mobile installers.

How To: Lock your CASL Applications

Creating applications in CASL isn't that difficult.  However, how you productize your CASL applications is equally important.  This tutorial covers some pointers to assist CASL developers looking for ways to secure their hard work.

Promoting your CASL Software

Some CASL developers have asked if there are ways that they can help promote their business/products that were created with CASL. There are a few tools that we use a couple times a month to help increase awareness of our own products. These are tools that we feel are valuable and may be useful to CASL Developers. If you are interested in submitting your product to hundreds of websites (a huge time saver) or submitting your website URL to thousands of search engines, please try the products located at the CASL Developer Deals page.

Selling Your CASL Applications

There are a number of sites that will sell your applications.  Sites such as Handango, PalmGear, PocketGear and a number of others will allow you to set your product price but will deduct a percentage of the product sale.
