5.0 out of 5 stars Great book on the Mac toolbox!, July 4, 1999

Andrew Schaaf (pschaaf@frontiernet.net) (New York, NY) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Foundations of Mac Programming (Paperback)

This book tells you how to get started making your own Mac programs.

To use this book, you should know C or C++.

I highly recommend this book to people new to the Mac toolbox.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book-, December 21, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Foundations of Mac Programming (Paperback)

"Foundations of Mac Programming" is a spectacular book that will give the burgeoning mac programmer a fine backround in the subject. A minimal knowledge of C is required to understand what this book teaches. This book will indeed provide a firm foundation, though it does not get overly detailed in terms of graphics and files, thus more seasoned macintosh programmer will not benefit much from it.

5.0 out of 5 stars The title says it all., December 3, 1998

Bill Allen (Irvine, California USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Foundations of Mac Programming (Paperback)

Get the basics of C down then this book gets you going real fast. The CodeWarrior(CW) examples on the CD need to be updated for current CW but this is easy to do. Each chapter focuses on a Mac Toolbox Manager. It's up to you to start "playing around" by combining different Toolboxes together. I really got alot out of the book. The author also writes for MacTech magazine every month with Dave Marks.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good, but lacking a real foundation.
Teaches Mac C, but leaves out the basics of C. I recommend getting "Learn C on the Macintosh", by Dave Mark instead. When you've read that, come back to this book.
