Query: A great way to get productive with PocketC

I had never done any C programming before buying this book. I had done some basic in high school and arexx after but had never progressed beyond hello world in C. Granted PocketC is not "real" C, but when I comes to getting an idea from your head to your palm it fits the bill almost perfectly. You are introduced to all the basics of working with pocketC in this book. Unfortunately it does not really cover the PDE version. If you read all the documentation that comes with the program and the parts of PToolBoxLib that you will need though, the total becomes more than a sum of its parts. In less than a month I had the basic understanding of how to go from an idea to a working project and would not have made it without this book. If you couple it with a standard text on C you will be able to work through most of your problems. It is to be noted though, that pocketC apps are kind of slow. But I think the upside more than offsets the downside.
