My review of this book is both good and bad. The good things in this book is that it's very accurate and contains loads of information. The bad things are that many examples are very out of context and hard to understand, and the book is slightly out of date nowadays, with PalmOS 3.0+ around. Minor things. It is a good book, in general. It comes with a CD contains the Palm SDK and such, as well as even the Linux Palm C compiler.
