Okay, and while we are at it, try DevGuide, IBuild, TAE+, or any of a dozen
other UI builders for X. I would be interested in anyone comparing
these with MacApp.

I can give you a list of 100 things wrong the the Mac interface. :-)
But let's save that for talk.religion.user-interfaces.

Remember - I was answering John Lusk's specific question. How many
books does a beginner need to do serious programming with MacApp? 
I assume you are saying Inside Mac Vol 1-5 aren't needed?

Hmm. I have a MacApp book in front of me. In fact, I have a whole shelf
from the E. T. O. CD-ROM. I'm not to sure which of the 6 3-inch
Binders I have to read first. Are you sure this stuff is simple?


:-) :-)
