Inside Macintosh ($100 for I, II, IV, V) is very expensive and
nontrivial to digest. People said to me, "Buy Inside Macintosh.
You'll need it anyway," but I think this is bad advice for a
beginner. Buy books as you need them, since it's easy to WASTE $200
on macintosh programming books, and still not learn what you need to
know.
I suggest you start with a tutorial. Here are some decent tutorials:
Programming the Macintosh with TURBO PASCAL, Tom Swan (older)
Programming the Mac with Lightspeed C (or somesuch. A very recent book).
I have inside mac but haven't used it much. I mostly used the turbo
pascal book (even though I code with lightspeed C). The "Macintosh
Revealed" reference manuals (I, II, III, $75), consolidate the Inside
mac manuals and omit some out-of-date information.
