From the Back Cover

Learn how to build databases on personal digital devices to be used with PDA applications

Several years ago, the business community accepted the Internet as a viable solution to extending the corporate environment. Today, there is another movement towards enhancing this methodology-- empowering mobile wireless business users with increasingly powerful PDAs.

Robert Laberge and Srdjan Vujosevic have written the first book ever to cover mobile database development. They discuss the many methods of connecting to the Internet, Intranet, or a specific computer and how they are all viable business solutions for today's large, medium, and small corporations.

In addition, they offer detailed discussions of such topics as:
* Basics of the mobile wireless environment, including a quick view of WAP technology and an overview of PDAs and their environments
* The client-server methodology-what it is and how it applies to PDAs
* Data warehousing-centralizing departmental information for everyone in an organization to access
* Palm as a whole, in addition to Pocket PC from Microsoft
* Tools needed for building an application to access data on a PDA
* The Sybase solution to PDA databases-the components from Sybase, and an example using specific pieces of the offering
* IBM's DB2 solution-a discussion on the components, and an easy-to-follow application using the components

The companion Web site contains all the source code for the sample applications in the book.

I thoroughly examined this book and found that there is not a single piece of information in this book that cannot be found on internet in matter of seconds. My advice is: save your money

5.0 out of 5 stars I did not know that PALM development can be so easy, October 31, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Building PDA Databases for Wireless and Mobile Development (Paperback)
I was always intrigued about the ways to make those small pocket size device to do what I want and I have believed that in order to make the programs for the Pocket PC's you have to be software "guru". This book was eye opener for me. I now know "how to" develop portable databases in efficient and professional way with ease. I would recommend this book to everyone who plan to develop PALM or Pocket PC based applications that will utilize major database engines.
