- The best introduction for C on the Macintosh is called (I think) _Macintosh
- C Primer vol. 2_. I'm not sure about the name because I don't have it in
- front of me now. It gives a very good introduction to the Macintosh toolbox
- including useful source code, and is written specifically for use with Think
- C. Does anyone know if there will be another volume coming out?
-
- Also, anyone programming on the Macintosh needs the _Inside Macintosh_ series.
- It is put out by Apple and contains everything you *need* to know to program,
- but it is not quite as user friendly as the book previously mentioned.
