5.0 out of 5 stars The best guide to programming on Macintosh, November 3, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Newnes Power PC Programming Pocket Book (Newnes Pocket Books) (Hardcover)

This is a well organized and concise book that advanced programmers want to have when they write assmbly code or do debugging. This is also a very useful book when you want to control electronic system using microchip. A must for advanced programmers.
