lol good books lol
I have bought a few books, but they are never up to scratch, for learning,
one mistake can take ages for a newbie to find. But a good vendor doc is
much better ie palm SDK's as they are usually in electronic form, contain
few if any mistakes due to the pros that use them sending in the
corrections. They maybe a bit hard to follow for someone who has never
programmed, but a little programming experience and they are the best source
of info out :o)

Kat.
