Synopsis

You know that your Mac is easy to use for word processing and building spreadsheets -- now find out how easy it is to use for programming. Even if you've never written a line of code, Mac Programming For Dummies, transforms you from plain ol' user into the propeller-head you were destined to become. Mac fanatic Dan Parks Sydow takes you behind the screens of the Mac's revolutionary graphical user interface so you can hack out your own user-friendly software. You discover how to use the ResEdit resource editor to customize the way that your Mac's operating system looks and acts, and then you plunge into the powerful programming language C. A CD-ROM bundled with the book comes chock-full of indispensable and fun tools, from a lite version of Metrowerks' industry-standard CodeWarrior C compiler and Apple's ResEdit, to an assortment of programming goodies.
