Hello. I feel really dumb for having to post this, but here it goes. I am trying to learn how to make applications for the blackberry, and I want to go through the labs on blackberry.com. The problem is, I can't find and actual tutorials; all I can find is the place that tells you what is covered in the tutorial. Here is an example:
Exercise
Write a basic application for a BlackBerry® device that displays the message "Hello World!" to users.

Additional Labs
Go to the Next Exercise in "The Basics of Developing for BlackBerry", Creating a user interface
That is the only page I can find. Where is the actual lab that allows me to learn how to make an application? Also, if anyone knows of other places where I can find blackberry application development tutorials, please let me know. Thanks, everyone.
