I am an experienced programmer, so I am looking for a book which >clues me in to the way a Mac SHOULD be programmed. Thanks. > Here is some more advice to a new mac programmer. I am still trying to learn how to do it but there are several tools that are excellent. "Prototyper" by SmethersBarnes. It will make all the difference in getting you programming and producing things that will maintain your interest. "Programmers Introduction to the macintosh Family." by Addison Wesley. Great book to look through and gain insight. "Inside macintosh Volume I-III" by addison Wesley. No matter how you cut it, you are going to need them. Once you have them you will never feel like there is something your missing. "Online Companion" by addison Wesley. It really helps you find the calls you are looking for and then tells you the page too look them up in Inside macintosh. "Macintosh Revealed" by Hayden Books. I have it and everyone recommends it but I seem to never need it. Its matter of preference but I would get Inside macintosh before this. Steve
