The Developer's Kit is misnamed: it is really an expensive beginners kit.  The version that comes with the Mac or which so far is available from user groups for free has all the software that you need.  If these sources fail, the $49 "upgrade" from Claris also contains all that software.  What these two packages do not contain is the manuals but the cheap way out is third party books.  In particular, The Book is a good reference manual and there are several tutorial type books around for a whole lot less t







han Claris is ripping people off for.
