" i'd have to agree that it is pretty useless to the beginning mac
programmer.. "

I strongly disagree. I was a beginning Mac programmer once (8-), and I was
using Macintosh Pascal with those lovely InLine() functions. While I had to
do a lot of page-flipping, mainly because the phone-book's index was crappy,
everything was straightforward and clearly explained. I'd have been lost
without it, because there were no other references at the time.

Perhaps a better way to state this is "IM is pretty useless to the beginning
programmer"?

IM isn't exactly brimming with examples, but the little program at the
beginning of the book is a good start....
