Question:
Does an archive or site exist that has examples or templates for Power Objects? I'm a neophyte, and would like to start with some already developed applications that I can modify. Specifically, I'm looking to start with a simple database system in which to record customer info and a schedule of customer visits.

Answer:
Power Objects comes with some interesting examples, such as the Address Book application and a bunch of mini-apps.

If you are looking for more complete, real-world applications, may I modestly recommend Mastering Oracle Power Objects, by yours truly and Robert Hoskin, available from O'Reilly & Associates. It contains a complete application with some good code for database interaction and a bunch of nifty bells and whistles.
