[MD1] Mac C and Pascal Guides for Free

ANNOUNCEMENT
NOW AVAILABLE FREE ON THE INTERNET

MACINTOSH C:
A Hobbyist’s Guide to Programming the Mac OS in C
Version 1.1

MACINTOSH PASCAL:
A Hobbyist’s Guide to Programming the Mac OS in Pascal
Initial Issue

MACINTOSH C: A Hobbyist’s Guide to Programming the Macintosh in C
(Version 1.0) was first published on the Internet in March 1996.
Since then, Version 1.0 has been completely revised and overhauled,
the result being the new, improved Version 1.1, together with a small
title change intended to accommodate Apple’s recently-announced dual
OS strategy.

MACINTOSH PASCAL was developed in conjunction with Version 1.1 of
MACINTOSH C. It is exactly the same as MACINTOSH C Version 1.1
except that, as you would expect, all the demonstration programs,
code snippets, etc., are in Pascal rather than C.

MACINTOSH C and MACINTOSH PASCAL both comprise:

* An 809-page book, which is available for download in Microsoft
Word and PDF formats.

* A package of demonstration programs, which were created using
Metrowerks CodeWarrior.

In addition, both books may be browsed on-line (HTML and PDF in the
case of MACINTOSH C; PDF only in the case of MACINTOSH PASCAL).

A downloadable edition of MACINTOSH C is also available for users of
Symantec’s THINK C development system.
