Description:I found this to be the only Palm Programming book available when I was attempting to learn to program my Palm. It certainly takes a bit of disassembling to figure out how the nuts and bolts work but it is actually a decent book.
As previously mentioned, there seems to be a lack of info about the PODS compiler because most all of the samples are written for codewarrior. I found this to be a bit frustrating because I spent a lot of time reworking the resource files to make the samples work.
Other than that, I would say the book covers quite a bit of material and is certainly ample for an intermediate programmer (with some C/C++ experience). If you are using the free Palm Developer Suite (PODS) just know that you will have to do a bit of reading on your own (reading Palm documentation) to figure out how to make things work.
I'd like to see more samples.. perhaps I'll write a few myself and start a website to help other novices like me learn the basics.
