Summary: The definitive introduction to programming for Newton 2.0.
Comment: The first edition of this book led those of us new to Newtonscript by the hand through a sample project. This second edition uses the project approach but is structured in a far more reference-manual manner, emphasizing the concepts over the process.

This edition is Newton 2.0 ONLY, so it won't suit programmers who want to write code for the MessagePad 110, 100, OMP, or ExpertPad. For that, you'll want to track down a copy of the first edition of this book.

The included CD contains a demo of the Newton Toolkit (NTK) programming environment, but there is a newer version of this software on Apple's web site. Note that the demo version creates Newton packages which can't be redistributed, so you'll eventually need to purchase a full copy of NTK.

This book isn't a replacement for the Newton Toolkit documentation, and it doesn't cover much in terms of user interface principles. If you have some background in object oriented programming, this book will put you on the path to writing your own Newtonscript code.
