PIE Developers – Volume 2.2 – March, 1994

PIE Developers, later PDA Developers, was the premier, independent printed resource for PDA developers in the mid-to-late 1990s. Originally billing itself as “A Technical Journal for Newton Developers,” early issues contained detailed articles, tutorials, and coding examples focusing on the Apple Newton MessagePad platform.

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).
