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
