Hello out there...

I am a relatively new Mac programmer who now has several reasons for
wanting to accelerate my learning experience.  Tho I have a number of years
of experience as a programmer, much of it using C in the UNIX environment
(please save the editorial comments :-} ), I find the Mac to be somewhat
slow and a bit painful to learn.

I mainly have questions about the Apple sponsored classes which cover
introduction to the Mac, writing a mac application, using MacApp.
Is there anyone out there who has been through any of these courses that
can comment (E-MAIL to me) on their usefullness, thoroughness, etc.?
I am reluctant to shell out $700 for three days if it doesn't have a
big effect on the learning curve.  Is the one-day introduction class
worthwhile to someone with years of programming experience?

I have MPW and MPW C, and have no real problems negotiating these.  It
is the Mac concepts, apparently explained in 1500 pages of Inside
Macintosh that I want help with.

Also, if anyone out there is willing to answer a few questions about
MPW and MPW C, could they contact me.  Things like how to use
in-line 68000 instructions within a .c file.  I could use a little 
advice if someone has the time.

While I'm here, does anyone know how I can obtain any existing literature
about Acius and their much touted database.  All articles I have seen
speak highly, but provide little substance.  Does Acius distribute
any product literature?  An address would help.  Hey, if you Guys (excuse
the pun) are listening, send information to me at the address below.  Thanks.

Thanks,

John Gilbert
