Keywords: C Macintosh books Message-ID: <6178@fluke.COM> Date: 2 Dec 88 06:54:46 GMT Sender: news@tc.fluke.COM Organization: John Fluke Mfg. Co., Inc., Everett, WA Lines: 31 Just got the latest APDAlog, and was wandering through the book section. Noticed a few books on learning to program the Macintosh for C programmers, specifically C PROGRAMMING TECHNIQUES FOR THE MACINTOSH by Schilke & Mednieks (1986, Sybex); and the new 2nd Edition of Knaster's HOW TO WRITE MACINTOSH SOFTWARE, which is advertised as having an expanded section on C programming -- anyone had a chance to compare the two? I have the Takatsuka, Huxham and Burnard USING THE MACINTOSH TOOLBOX WITH C, and outside of its pre-HFS publishing date and the use of Consulair C, I'm very satisfied with it. I'm curious how the Schilke & Mednieks book stacks up to this. "Young conservatives must feel the withdrawl symptoms most. It's not just the loss of a father figure, either. It's the utter banality of what is to come. After eight years of revolutionary activity, schmoozing with George Bush is going to be difficult. Trained to kill, they're suddenly having to take crash courses in outreach. You can see them wandering aimlessly around Washington these days, pained, simpering grins on their faces, engaging in mild post-Reagan banter. `How're you doing today, Clinton?' `Oh, kinder and gentler, Dean, thank you.'" -- Andrew Sullivan --- Moriarty, aka Jeff Meyer INTERNET: moriarty@tc.fluke.COM Manual UUCP: {uw-beaver, sun, microsoft}!fluke!moriarty CREDO: You gotta be Cruel to be Kind... <*> DISCLAIMER: Do what you want with me, but leave my employers alone! <*>
