Newton Programmer's Guide: For Newton 2.0:

  Newton Programmer's Guide is an essential book for programmers developing Newton software products. It is the definitive guide to Newton programming, providing conceptual information and instructions for using the Newton application programming interfaces. 

  The accompanying CD-ROM contains a comprehensive on-line reference to the data structures, routines, and system prototypes in a variety of formats.

Description:

This is Apple's offical guide to developing Newton applications. It provides everything the Newton programmer needs to develop PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) applications and addresses the challenges faced by developers as they implement programs for this innovative operating system. The accompanying CD contains an electronic quick reference for the Newton API as well as the Newton development kit.

 Programming for the Newton Using Windows:

  This package aims to provide would-be Newton programmers with everything they need to begin developing applications for the Newton on the Windows platform. The disk contains programming examples from the book, as well as a demonstration Newton toolkit for Windows.

 Newton 2.0 User Interface Guidelines:

  Essential for anyone developing products for Newton devices. It provides authoritative information that designers, engineers, and human interface professionals need to design and create software that fits the Newton model. 

  This book illustrates many examples of good and bad design, and explains why one is better than another. Read this book to learn: how people interact with Newton devices what all types of container views look like and how they behave where to use buttons, close boxes, radio buttons, checkboxes, and other controls when to use pickers and when to use handwriting recognition how users send and receive application data through transports how people use filing, finding, the Intelligent Assistant, and other system services that are available to every application At the back of the book is a list of common user-interface mistakes to avoid.

   Newton User Interface Guidelines describes the user interface considerations of Newton software rather than the programming mechanics.

  If you are an engineer, you should also consult Newton Programmers Guide for complete information on the technical implementation of your software and its interface. The information in this book applies to version 2.0 of the Newton operating system.

 Programming for the Newton: Using Macintosh:

  With the launch of the Newton 2.0 operating system and the ensuring release of Newton Toolkit 1.6, this book allows experienced programmers of any language to grasp the enhanced technology. 

  Programmers learn new communications features of this updated operating system to create Newton applications on the Macintosh. The book also includes details of all new features of Newton 2.0.
