This is the problem I've found with most of the Palm programming books
out there. They tend to concentrate heavily on the Windows tools.
The "PalmOS Programming Bible", by Lonnon Foster,is more even handed, but
still has a Windows-centric focus. It's probably one of the most current
and covers
IMHO, a good bookshelf would be something like the Foster book, The pilrc
site, PalmOS SDK and the Stevens UNIX Networking book.
BTW, has anybody given any thought to writing a Linux/GCC-based Palm book?
