Inside Macintosh: OpenDoc Cookbook /: Preface - About This Book

Who Should Read This Book
This book is written for software developers who wish to write OpenDoc part editors for the Mac OS platform. It consists primarily of code samples with prose explanations presenting background information, explication of details, and cross-references. This book presents a starting point for part developers: its code base, SamplePart, is a nonembedding part editor that implements a complete but minimum set of features.
This book covers the basic protocols common to all part editors. It does not cover advanced features, including embedding, data interchange (through drag and drop and linking), and scripting. It does, however, describe other code samples that illustrate some of these features.
The code samples appearing in this book are distributed as text files on a CD-ROM disk included with the OpenDoc Programmer's Guide for the Mac OS.
