I know I can find this information in the 6(?) volumes Inside the Mac, or
whatever the title is, but I'll ask here:

I am VERY new at programming on the Mac.  I am in the process of trying to
learn my way around (via articles in mac User and other printed materials,
such as this newsgroup).  I will soon by the Macintosh reference books, but two
quick questions:

1. Which volume(s) should I get first, with basic information in them.  Info
I'll need to write a Mac application with Mac-type interface?

2. How can I create a window on the screen.  Basically I ask because when
I run an application created with Think C I get this stupid window that
says "console" and I want to open my own window(s) within the application.

If the answer to the second question is too long and hard to understand for
new Mac programmers, I'll just have to get my hands on those reference books,
so which ones should I get? (I know I'll need all of them, but just to get me
started, what ones do I need?)

Thanks again,

Stas
