Handheld Systems – Volume 5.2 – March/April 1997

Handheld Systems, originally PIE Developers and later PDA Developers, was the premier independent printed resource for mobile developers in the mid-to-late 1990s. At various points billing itself as “A Technical Journal for PDA Developers,” each issue contained detailed articles, tutorials, and coding examples covering all major handheld platforms.

Published by San Francisco-based Creative Digital Systems, the journal was expertly managed and edited by Steve Mann (who also wrote a number of articles in each issue).
