Palm OS Dev....
The "Palm OS Developers Guide" presents techniques for extending PC-based
solutions to the Palm OS environment. Kris Jamsa explains how to create
Palm query applications (PQAs) that provide Palm OS device users with
access the web-based content, simulate JavaScript operations within
a Palm OS application to perform front-end processing for web clippings,
retrieve PC-based e-mail without the need for Hotsync, display Adobe
Acrobat PDF files on a Palm device, and integrate SQL databases and
query operations within web clippings.
Book Description
Build cutting-edge and platform-independent Palm OS applications using
this great in-depth developer's guide. Learn methods for programming
with CodeWarrior--and use strings, floating-point numbers, text, and
graphics. Also includes advanced programming techniques and concepts.

Final Review
Use your Palm device to locate and retrieve data from a remote PC.
This book can help you to integrate SQL databases into web clippings
and palm os applications. Create PQAs that detect and automatically
install newer versions of themselves.
Don't leave it out: you must integrate Adobe Acobate PDF file and
even video solutions into your pda. Develop applications that are
able to beam data, programs and PQAs using InfraRed.
Go a further step and encrypt data over a secure socket layer connection
to protect tramsissions. You can do really a lot after reading this
book. I think my Palm V device ist just too small for all this. I
need a Palm M515! Help!! I haven't tried it yet but you can even automate
faxing. How?
Had I more time at hand I would try this out. But it is time for work.
Good bye and see you next time.

This book is a really good but quite extensive guide. You will want
a faster and larger PDA once you have worked through this book.
