History
PDA Developers Volume 3.1, dated January/February 1995, is an issue of the technical journal subtitled A Technical Journal for PDA Developers (formerly PIE Developers) and cover-priced at $16.95 in the United States.1 This issue's articles covered Apple Newton development (view-performance optimization and untethered debugging), Psion programming (the HWIF library and a Worktime OPL application), the Hewlett-Packard 200LX (System Manager programming and HPCLIB), and GEOS on Sharp's PT-9000 and the Zoomer, alongside previews and reviews of development tools including Portal, a Newton Mosaic client, and NS BASIC.1
The journal had begun as PIE Developers, which launched in 1993 as A Technical Journal for Newton Developers; its Volume 1.15, dated November 1993, was a special reprint of most of Volume 1.1 prepared for the Newton Platform Development Conference held December 7-8, 1993.2 As the magazine's coverage widened beyond the Newton, its subtitle broadened to A Technical Journal for PDA Developers by Volume 2.5 in September 1994, while the masthead still read PIE Developers.3 The masthead itself changed to PDA Developers with Volume 2.6, dated November/December 1994, which introduced the parenthetical "(formerly PIE Developers)" that the Volume 3.1 issue continued to carry.4
The journal was published by Creative Digital Systems, based at 235 Corbett Avenue in San Francisco, California.5
