Customer Reviews & Comments
This book covers two programming tools for the Palm; one is HotPaw Basic the other CASL. These are OK; but if you want to write simple useful programs I would recommend PocketC and get the book "Palm Programming for the Absolute Beginner" by Andy Harris. With PocketC you can write programs of reasonable complexity. If however you are wanting to write complex programs, you have to get "Palm OS Programming: The Developers' Guide 2nd ed" by Neil Rhodes and Julie McKeehan, it is excellent. And I suggest using GCC C/C++ or CodeWarrior if you can spare the dollars.
