5.0 out of 5 stars Great book, but dated, August 22, 1999

By A Customer

For those frustrated users (& reviewers) who have some problems using this book, note that it was written in 1995! This is ancient history for programming. The amazing thing is how much Trudeau writes is still useful.

As others have noted, & despite what Trudeau says, you should at least have an aquaintance with C before you start. Assuming that (& noting the age of the book) this is still the best programming book available in any language, for any platform. We need to pry Trudeau away from Metrowerks, where he worked last time I looked, long enough to update his book for OSX.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good book, with some help, June 5, 1999

By A Customer

I have read this book, and continue to use it most fo my mac programming adventures. It is more of a desk reference for me, but if you know C, have read through this, and then look at the Apple Inside Mas books for stuff the book dosent explain, you will be well off at mac programming

4.0 out of 5 stars if you already know how-to, this is Ok....., May 12, 1998

By A Customer

I've been reading and working with this booK, and presents several problems when you are using MacOS 8, you can't compile many files, you have to use the 'complete' files and some 'start' projects do not open, I don't know why is this, and if is not enough there's not an e-mail address to reach Mr. Trudeau, sometimes I feel deeply fustrated working with this book. But if you have experience programming on C/C++, this is an open door to the extraordinary world of Macintosh.
