CodeWarrior for Palm OS Platform version 8.0 is a fully integrated
development environment for the Palm OS platform. It comes with the
4.0 SDK (the latest version of the SDK available at the time this book
went to print), so you can develop for any device that runs any version
of the Palm OS from the original 1.0 up to the recent 4.0. This is done
through the marriage of C or C++ code and the resources that make up
the user interface (UI). Resources include anything the user can inter-
act with—forms, menus, buttons, etc. This section includes a list of
the various UI elements that can be added to a Palm OS application.
