1.0 out of 5 stars As a competent C programmer..., 26 Oct 2000
By A Customer
As a competent C programmer with no Palm experience I was looking for a helpful introduction into the basics of Palm programming. This book hasn't helped at all! It barely scratches the surface of palm development, dedicating only a few pages to events, databases and simple form controls. Even less space is dedicated to more complicated areas and both the prose and examples are glaringly incomplete.

The obvious alternative, "Palm Programming, The Developer's Guide" has been a little more use as a reference guide, but falls below the standard of other O'Reilly books.

1.0 out of 5 stars A good advertisment for a few applications, 23 Aug 1999
By A Customer
This book is only an advertisment for a handful of applications. It should have been titled "A review of programming applicaitons for the palm." It does not actually cover "programming" for the most part, but covers how a few applications work, i.e. Satellite Forms is not an actual programming environment (as codewarrior is) but is extensively covered by this book. I expected more of an as advertised "programming form the ground up" book. would return it if possible.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book to help select a tool to use, 12 Jul 1999
By A Customer
I purchased the book because I was utterly upset with the quality of Code Warrior and was looking for alternatives, this book shows you all of the options available and gives you enough good straightforward information to choose the option that best suits your needs. His coverage of Satellite Forms was what interested me the most and I was not disappointed. The author was gracious and answered questions I had in a very timely manner and contributes daily to the Satellite Forms listserv to help others.
