Palm Database Programming: The Complete Developer's Guide [With CDROM]

A well written developer text that is well worth the money. If you need to quickly get up to speed on Palm Databases and/or Palm development, this is a book that you will want to read from cover-to-cover.

This book is a must for everyone interested in programming with Palm C based SDK. Eric goes into a great detail to get your up to speed with this things. And they are tricky!If you are seriously interested in Palm OS, get it!

What's interesting is that the book still holds its value despite being two years old. What I really like about it is that the author from the beginning focuses on peculiarities of Palm OS platform. And they are many! In no other book did I see such a deep overview of what is possible with Palm OS SDK. Eric clearly explains what can be done and what should not be done with Palm OS. If you are serious about writing professional C/C++ code for Palm OS then get this book. It's a must!

This book was a great book for myself, who wanted to venture into palm programming, from my other programming background. found the program examples excellent, and the nuts and bolts coverage excellent from a programmer new to the Palm Device. The author has struck a good balance, and focused on the main portion of Palm Database Programming, and not cluttering the book, with obscure topics that would be more useful in a book unto it's own.

This book not only covers UltraLite as mentioned by the author, but it also covers the Palm database API. It's the only book that I've found so far that covers DmReleaseRecord's most important side effect (what happens to record indexes after removing a record).
