Summary: Excellent Sat. Forms section.
Comment: I purchased the book specifically for the Satellite Forms portion. I found it very valuable. Well written and clear, and it allowed me to quickly increase my new Satellite Forms skill. I believe it would be just as valuable for someone with no Satellite Forms experience.
I really appreciate that the book covers many different development packages - It allows you to look them over and see which is right for you. (the first book I purchased, which I will not name here, focused solely on CodeWarrior and was not very descriptive... since I had no experience with C, I couldn't follow it. )
I look forward to reading THIS book's chapters on CodeWarrior when I have time, they look like they will be comprehensible even to a lowly VB programmer like myself.

Summary: Interesting overiew of the Palm development scene
Comment: I liked the format of this book (as with all the STY in 24 Hours books). The introduction to the Palm platform were interesting and revealed some information that I never really knew before. The book covers Satellite Forms, Codewarrior and Pendragon Forms in detail - with a little teaser at the end for CBasPad (BASIC on the Palm). The author contributes to a number of forums that I'm a member of, which I think is a very good thing. He helped me with a few problems I had getting everything up and running - which was very impressive. I used to think that authors wrote books then skulked away, hiding in the shadows. I'm a bit of a C hacker, so will likely purchase Codewarrior and build my project with that. To sum up, I think this book was a good buy, and has definately helped me on my travels in the Palm Economy.

Summary: Not real programming
Comment: If you are serious about developing for the Palm OS platform look at other books like the one from O'Reilly (ASIN 1565928563). This book is very lightweight and only covers forms "programming" but will not teach you how to join the growing Palm OS developer community. It is not the first book from Sams that I checkout, I dont know how they let this one out.
