Response to: Learning Carbon Review

I sort of agree with with this review, but I think that a title called "Porting to Carbon" would be more apropos. I don't think the scope of the book was aimed toward this end.


Yes, the Apple documentation would be a better source for what you are trying to do.


Carbon, is sort of strange bird because applications can be developed from scratch with it or they can be ported fairly easily from OS 8 or 9. I think this is where the confusion with title comes to play. Carbon is use more to port other mac environment applications and hardly ever written from scratch(we have Cocoa for that).
