  Some of it is sort of old-hat by now, but I learned most of what I 
know about the Mac's architecture from Stephen Chernicoff's _Macintosh 
Revealed_.  That's now up to four volumes, and you still need to 
supplement it with _Inside Mac_ for the real lowdown on some of the 
odder system calls, file routines, etc., but his leisurely explanation 
of how it all fits together helped me to form a conceptual picture into 
which all the other details could be placed.  In fact, the first two 
volumes are probably all you need for that; then get things on 
particular topics.  If you just want to write fairly straightforward 
applications, Chernicoff's treatment will take you a long way -- 
windows, menus, grafports, resources, and most of what you need.
  I was familiar with C and Pascal before I started, and that helps; but 
my previous programming had all been on an old Osborne-1, which is a 
Really Different kind of computer...
