Synopsis

Steve Mann takes readers to the next level of Palm programming. The Professional Developer's Guide series provides readers with a look at emerging programming technologies. Experienced programmers and developers should find comprehensive coverage of programming standards as well as code, sample programs, developer's tools, and applications that should make learning a new programming language much easier. The Palm operating system has become the dominant handheld device development environment, but thousands of programmers have moved beyond the fundamentals and need more advanced information. This book is devoted to Palm programmers who want to move on to the next generation of Palm applications. The authors examine specific problems, describe potential solutions, and walk the reader through the source code of their preferred solutions. Step-by-step code roadmaps are presented that cover a broad range of high-level Palm applications. The CD-ROM includes complete source codes for all of the programming samples in the book as well as a demo version of the official Palm development environment.

Advanced Palm(TM) Programming Professional Developer′s Guide

If you′ve been looking for an expert guide to Palm programming that goes beyond the basics, here it is. This book shows you how to create real–world applications that will put you at the forefront of development for the most rapidly growing OS in handheld computing. Pioneering Palm software developers Mann and Rischpater walk you through the source code for their programming examples, teaching you both about algorithms that solve problems specific to the Palm OS and more general purpose application–level programs. In stand–alone chapters designed for easy reference, they provide:
∗ A practical modest–precision trigonometric library
∗ Routines for floating–point data entry, formatting, and conversion
∗ An application to create Palm database (PDB) files on the desktop
∗ Map display applications with rich graphics support
∗ Simple yet powerful global searching techniques for Palm devices
∗ Guidance for building a transport–independent communications API
∗ Solutions for quickly accessing records in large databases
∗ Debugging techniques for the Palm OS

The CD–ROM contains complete source code for all the programming samples in the book.

Professional Developer′s Guides The Professional Developer′s Guide series provides the first in–depth look at recent or emerging programming technologies. Experienced programmers and developers will find comprehensive coverage of new programming standards as well as code, sample programs, developer′s tools, and applications that will make learning a new programming language much easier.
