Inside Macintosh is essential.  Read the original material, not the
watered down retellings like "Macintosh Revealed".  Inside Macintosh is
not a tutorial, but a reference.  As long as that is understood, it is
highly useful.

For a tutorial, try the new volumes by Addison-Wesley: "The Programmer's
Introduction to the Macintosh" and "A Technical Introduction to the
Macintosh" or something like that.  They are not outstanding, but are
OK.

MPW stands for Macintosh Programmer's Workshop.  It is described in
detail in the May issue of IEEE Software, and will also be described in
a special Macintosh Doctor Dobb's Journal article coming out around June
15th or so.  The whole issue is about the Mac, and is not the standard
monthly Dr. Dobb's issue.
