Brian,
I (obviously) want to stay out of this discussion, but I want to avoid
confusion: you are clearly referring to "Teach Yourself Palm Programming in
24 Hours". It covers SatForms, Pendragon, etc. My book "Palm Programming:
The Authoritative Solution", which is the SAMS book that was mentioned in
the original post, is *totally* aimed at CodeWarrior C/C++ developers. It
presents chapters on many different aspects of palm programming using
Codewarrior and the Palm SDK with C/C++, starting with "Hello Palm", and
proceeding through user interface, database, serial, ir, and palm VII/pqa
development.
I don't mind negative criticism at all, but I want to make sure there is no
confusion on this forum as to which book you are referring to (It didn't
help that the publisher and several of the online book vendors originally
had the titles of the two books confused)
Looking forward to feedback (positive or negative) on the book, via this
forum or via personal e-mail.....
