PenPoint Programming (Book)
PenPoint Programming was a hands-on programming tutorial by Andy Novobilski, published by Addison-Wesley, teaching developers how to build applications for GO Corporation's PenPoint operating system. The book introduced PenPoint from a programmer's perspective, showing how its predefined application-building framework produced software with standardized behavior, reusable system-level components, and greater functionality.
Through in-depth examples, it covered PenPoint's Application Framework, the Notebook User Interface, and the handwriting-recognition process, demonstrating more than 30 PenPoint classes in working applications. Novobilski, a consultant specializing in object-oriented programming and pen-based technology and a coauthor of Object-Oriented Programming: An Evolutionary Approach with Brad Cox, framed pen-based application design as distinct from mouse-based design.
