I'm an experienced programmer looking for a good reference and tutorial for developing for Palm OS in either C or C++? What are some good (up to date) books, reference manuals, and sites that would set me in a direction to start developing on the Palm Treo and Centro?

A:
There are no up to date books on PalmOS, because the OS hasn't changed in years. But Palm OS Programming was good for its time. Maybe you want to develop for the new Pre, then you might want Palm webOS instead.

I haven't coded on the Palm in anger in a long time, but this is still the latest book that I'm aware of. I won't link it, but <shudder> Wikipedia has a fairly comprehensive write-up of the history of the PalmOS. Also, their developer support used to be pretty good. It may require you to sign up and sign an NDA (it did in mid-2001) but I seriously doubt that that's still a requirement.

The best place to start is the PalmOS programming http://johwil.aquariusoft.org/dev/PalmDev/tut/IDGBooks-PalmOSProgrammingBible.pdf
At that point it's probably a good idea just to read the API docs along with sourcecode from sourceforge or www.palmopensourec.com
