4.0 out of 5 stars This book is very easy to read, especially for a tech guide., May 24, 1996

This review is from: Macintosh Pascal Programming Primer: Inside the Toolbox Using Think Pascal (Paperback)

The Macintosh Programming Primer is especially helpfull for making your Pascal programs shine with that certain "Mac" look. It goes into detail about how to do everything from Dialog Boxes in ResEdit to how to incorporate asynchronous sound into your program. It's saved my butt a few times on major high school products, and MUCH easier to read than THINK reference, or Inside Mac. The only short coming to this book is that it is a bit out of date. It only supports toolbox thingys that where in system 6 and below, though it does do a very good job explaining them and their history.
