As an 11-year Mac software development veteran, i can recommend this book to people new to Mac programming. While it doesn't cover Carbon comprehensively, it does cover the basics. The focus is to learn Project Builder and Interface Builder, and to get a simple app up and running - there are other books out there that delve into details. I suggest you read this book, then Apple's new Inside Mac OS X series, then possbily Dan Parks Sydow's "MacOS X Programming" which is also a Carbon book, the "Carbon Programming" which is an extensive, in-depth Carbon book. There are a few problems with Learning Carbon such as the fact that Apple has already rev'ed the OS X development tools since this first edition was published. So a few of the things in the examples are a little out of date. But overall you will be able to get up to speed quickly with this book. |
