Palm Programming: The Authoritative Solution takes a comprehensive approach to the tools and techniques available to Palm OS programmers. Assuming only that you have familiarity with C or C++ in some capacity--an academic knowledge is fine--Glenn Bachmann explains forms, buttons, labels, fields, tables and event handlers at a level suitable for a programmer who has never programmed for the Palm before.
Bachmann also provides lots of database information, including sample programs that browse and query databases, and shows how to save state in a Palm application. He pays attention to the special quirks of large programs, which most Palm OS programming books ignore entirely.
The tutorials and examples on communications programming--in so far as the infrared port and serial connection go--shine, but there is a lack of Palm VII coverage. There's a summary of the newest Palm's capabilities in this book, but no code samples or other practical programming information for those wanting to work with radio communication and Web clipping. But the special capabilities of the Palm VII are a small subset of Palm programming, and you'll find Palm Programming to be a useful hands-on introduction to the topic, particularly if you plan to work with large or database-centric applications. --David Wall
