• Bookmaking Tips and Tricks
  The Newton Book Maker is a simple tool that you can use to take the information important to you and put it on your Newton. You don't need to be a programmer to take advantage of Book Maker, but a procedure for book making helps smooth the process. This article contains some guidelines, assembled over the course of a half dozen or so projects, that can make book making easier and help you produce better books. Elise Bowditch discusses preparation, design, technique, testing and some routines you can copy and use in your own products.
• Desktop Integration Libraries
  The Desktop Integration Libraries (DILs) allow developers of applications for either the Mac OS or Windows operating systems to directly synchronize data between their applications and a Newton PDA. This feature enables seamless data sharing between the Newton device and personal computers without requiring intermediary translators or interpreter programs.
• Error Info .11
  A simple program to diplay Error information for Newton OS 2.0. If your newton has latest error information, programs use it when they run. Install both "ErrorInfo.pkg" and "ErrorCode.pkg", and Tap to use them. -- Freeware
• MathLib
  MathLib is an object-oriented library of advanced mathematical functions that are available to any program on NOS 2.x that accepts NewtonScript input. It covers complex math, calculus, general linear regression, simultaneous equations and many statistical functions. Some functions (in the complex plane) are Bessel, Zeta, PolyGamma, Bernoulli, Euler, Integral, IncompleteBeta... Also includes random number generation in numerous probability distributions. Can be used with NSBASIC with ease as well as many spreadsheet programs. -- Commercial (demo available for download)
• Newton Developer Technical Information
  Get the latest Newton development documentation from Apple. In Apple DocViewer or Adobe Acrobat format.
• Newton Development Information
  Find announcements from Apple, training opportunities, etc.
• Newton Error Codes for 2 OS
  The exceptions and error codes that the Newton system software generates. These are grouped into the following categories: System exceptions, System errors, Hardware errors, Communications errors, System services errors, NewtonScript environment errors, Device driver errors, Other errors, and NIE errors Each of the categories is subdivided into several tables of related error codes to make it easier to find an error. All errors in this appendix are listed in ascending numeric order.
• Newton Technology Journal V1, N5
  The Newton Technology Journal is published by Apple's Newton Developer Relations Group. NTJ's content is 70% technical and 30% marketing, with articles on programming issues and topics for the Newton platform, and the latest marketing news from Apple.
• Newton Toolkit for Windows 1.6b3
  Provides complete Newton Toolkit functionality, including the compiler, profiler, and full support for Newton 2.0. It runs under Windows 95 and Windows NT only. Windows 3.1 w/Win32s support will be provided in the final product.
• Newton Toolkit Resources
  From Apple. The Newton Toolkit, NTK is a powerful development environment designed to ease the creation of Newton software. It features graphical tools or interface design and rapid prototyping, an interactive development model, and a large number of built-in components for creating custom software. The latest version of NTK, version 1.6, is optimized for use Newton 2.0 and is native for the Power Macintosh.

Newton Toolkit for Windows - Public Beta Seed now available!
• Newt
  Newt (aka NewtDevEnv) is an environment for developing applications using NewtonScript and saving as packages directly on your Newton. -- Freeware
• NS BASIC
  NS BASIC is a full implementation of the BASIC programming language for the Newton family. It allows rapid development of applications directly on the Newton, without needing the Newton Toolkit or a host system.
• nsScribe
  From the makers of MathLib comes nsScribe. nsScribe will decompiler the answer to any NewtonScript question and insert it into your document just by the tap of the Assist button. Used in conjunction with MathLib and you could check your math homework as you type, or as a stand-alone extension nsScribe can be a powerfull scripting tool. Keep a page of your favorite NewtonScript calls on your Notepad and highlight them when needed. It also provides meaningfull descriptions of programming errors so it can be a NewtonScript teaching aid. -- Shareware
• protoNumberPicker_TDS
  Sample code for creating and using number pickers in your own applications. -- Freeware
• protoSlimPicker
  Sample code for creating a slimmer, easier to use list picker. -- Freeware
• QuickFlight SDK
  ETE offers the QuickFlight SDK for developers who need access to wireless networks or GPS and who don't want to endure a long learning curve. -- Commercial (download not available)
• Sample Code from Apple

• The BASIC Internet Tool (BIT)
  The BASIC Internet Tool (BIT) allows NS BASIC programs to access internet services, including News, Mail in, Mail out, and the web. To use it, you will need NS BASIC 3.0 or higher, a modem, an MP 130 and an account with an Internet Service Provider. With BIT, you can easily write NS BASIC programs to access the net. BIT loads as an item in the Extensions drawer.
• ViewFrame
  ViewFrame is a Newton-resident debugger and browser that lets you do things you can't even do with the Inspector that is supplied as part of Apple's Newton Toolkit programming environment. You can browse an application's complete object space, examining and modifying almost all objects in that space in multiple formats. You can see more things, more clearly and easily, than you can with the Inspector, without tying up the Newton's serial port. ViewFrame has a unique additions architecture, which uses auto part packages for related groups of functions, so that you can load just those commands you need, minimizing memory use.
• VisualNewt™
  A visual application development environment for the Apple Newton® MessagePad™. VisualNewt™ allows you to draw your user interface creating a "live" application. That is, as you design and draw the user interface, its elements are live and active. Checkboxes click, pickers, and gauges function. This allows you to get immediate feedback and do iterative design. -- Shareware
• WinNewt
  WinNewt is a Windows application that allows you to design, edit, print, export and download NewtonScript applications. You draw and position Views (button, input lines, etc.) on a Newton screen-sized windows using your mouse and write the NewtonScript code for these Views, all on your Windows PC! Then, using Steve Weyer's Newt development environment, you can create fully-functional Newton applications!
