Title: Fairly weak compared to books on other platforms...
Product review: While this book may be good compared to the general run of palm programming books, its rather bad compared to the references available for other platforms/languages. The code samples and functions are poorly explained, the book does not appear to have been updated for release 6 of CodeWarrior and certain cross-references in the text do not exist (e.g. animation). My primary complaint is that the text really fails to be either a good general reference (which is what I bought it for) or to be a good guide to palm programming (which is what a failed reference book ought to at least be able to do). I've been a C/C++ programmer for over 10 years and really think this book fails to meet the standard set by other references (e.g. Jeff Prosise's Programming Windows with MFC, Second Edition).
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
