Hi, I actually always use the SDK documentation available from the unit manufacturer or OS Vendor. It usually comes cheap and plentiful! Since I started off with OnBoardC, my very first "course lookup book" was the OnboardC Cookbook in Version 0.6. And well since then I am writing my own apps freely...

I have both references and I find them both very useful. My recommendation would be to get both of them. There are some differences between the two, and depending on the circumstances, one is more appropriate than the other. I usually prefer to use "Palm OS Programming The Developer's Guide" (POSPTDG) as my 1st choice for a reference, because it seems to be targeted at a more advanced audience, so it gets to the point quicker. On the other hand, "Palm OS Programming Bible" (POSPB) covers OS 5, where POSPTDG only covers up to OS 4, also, because of the OS 5 coverage, POSPB covers some topics such as wireless connectivity and navigation wheels which aren't available with OS 4. My overall impression is that I prefer POSPTDG for core Palm programming issues, but that I reference POSPB for the newer features, and also for a second point of view from time to time. Adrien.
