Contents
Do you remember the thrill you felt when you first used a Palm
organizer? If your next thought was how do I program this thing?
then this book is for you, because in it and its accompanying CD-ROM
you'll find the tools and information you need to write applications
for Palm devices, specifically applications that connect to external
databases using technology from Sybase and Oracle. You'll learn the
basics of the Palm operating system and how to use the development
tools to build, run, and debug applications. You'll explore the code
behind the Palm user interface. You'll learn about Palm databases,
relational databases, and data synchronization. When you're done
reading this book you'll be able to write interactive database
programs for the Palm platform. All you need is a basic knowledge of
C/C++ and the desire to learn about Palm and database programming.
| Eric's Comments: Ignore all references to the
CD-ROM. Licensing issues make it impossible for me to
provide the CD-ROM contents electronically. The software
on the CD-ROM is extremely outdated, anyhow. Also, the
chapters on relational databases and data synchronization are
not included on this website — I only have
permission to post the first five chapters on this website. |
