Hi William--
>>I am looking to get started writing apps for the Newton.
>>Is there a good FAQ on how to get started?
There is a good introduction to Newton programming in the Newton FAQs here:
http://www.chuma.org/newton/faq/newton-faq-development.html
There's also a Newton Programmer's website here:
http://newted.dyndns.org/users/osohn/NEWTtools/index.html
>>I am looking for recommendations on what is the best platform to develop
>>on, compilers, programming languages, etc.
The Newton Tool Kit (NTK) is the traditional programming environment for =
making Newton apps, and is available on both Macs and Windows PCs. =
NewtonScript is the language used with NTK. NewtonScript was developed =
primarily from the Self programming language (which was developed at Sun =
Microsystems). Here's a good brief explanation of the origins of =
NewtonScript:

There is also NSBasic, which is a form of Basic for the Newton.
If you want to develop on the Newton itself, look into NewtDevEngine.
