3.0 out of 5 stars
Okay text for the beginning Newton programmer, January 9, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Newton Programmer's Guide: For Newton 2.0 (Paperback)
Not the best book on programming around, but then there aren't many Newton programming books from which to choose...
Somewhat uneven; coverage of some topics (e.g., the basic viewing hierarchy and process) is terrific, especially for beginners. But coverage of other topics (NewtApp, for example) is relatively sketchy; some specific subtopics are hit strongly, with excellent examples, but others are given only sparse text.
Even with the Newton Programmer's Reference (included, on CD-ROM), it can be hard to find an answer for a question, due to a somewhat sparse index.
I recommend it to beginning Newton programmers, and I do still use it as a reference.
