Greetings, A few days ago, I posted the question: "What's a good programming 'primer' for the Macintosh that uses C as its sample language." I was looking for a book for people new to programming the Mac, not new to programming. I've received a stack of responses, and they are nearly unanimous: the book most recommended is "Macintosh Programming Primer" by Mark & Reed. Published by Addison-Wesley. The book is based on THINK C v3.0, and there is an optional companion source-code disk which can be ordered. The runner up (distant) was "C Programming Techniques for the Macintosh" by Mednieks & Schilke, but it wasn't really close. Thanks to everyone who responded. I picked up a copy of the "Primer" and Inside Mac volumes I & V (those recommended by the book), so it's time to dive in! --Mike
