Without sounding too vane, a good mac programmer is someone who wants
to devote much of their time to learning the mac. I was able to
master the Apple ][ in high school, learning all of the in's and out's
of the machine. This was not too difficult because the Apple ][ is
not as complicated as the Mac. The Mac just has so many features that
it take dedication and devotion to produce good quality software.
So, I guess a *good* mac programmer is one with lts of *dedication*
and *devotion* (not to mention a lot of patience 8-).
Yes, I do consider myself a good mac programmer (or at least used to
be :-). Today I have not the time to keep up with the Macintosh as
much as I would like and have fallen behind in mability to utilize the
Mac to its fullest potential.
With any luck, though, I have two big jobs that may use the Mac II and
willbe fortunate enough to be able to program the Mac once again!
