For those who are knowledgeable of Prograph v2.5 (i.e., purchased
and/or experimented with the package), I'd like to ask you what
you think of it. In particular,
* Does it have a steeper learning curve than conventional Mac
application programming (say, using THINK C v5.0.2)?
* Does the package offer what the TGS Systems guys promise in
their specs. (OO features, excellent programming environment,
support for integrated C and Pascal libraries, good interface
builder and editor/interpreter, an integrated database engine,
debugger, SQL connectivity support, etc.)?
* Since both Prograph and THINK C are sold at a low market
price of approx. $199.00 (though I'm sure THINK C can be
purchased at lower
educational prices, but I need to check that out), which one
would you suggest me to use in order to actually learn Mac
application programming? Let's say that my intentions are
geared toward industry requisites (for instance, I've worked
with X11R4, so that falls within "industry-based" application
production software).
I don't expect a stampede of respondents, so you can
go ahead and post your opinion/answers and I'll read
your [public] postings.
I appreciate your advices beforehand.
