APPLE MAKES MACINTOSH PROGRAMMING
EASIER FOR NEW DEVELOPERS
“Developer Resource Kit” and “Getting Started” Bundles
Provide Low Cost, Self-Help Tools for Apple Developers
CUPERTINO, California—April 15, 1991—Apple Computer, Inc.’s Developer Group
today announced the availability of the “Developer Resource Kit” and “Getting
Started” bundles, cost-effective packages of self-help development support
tools for people new to Macintosh® computer programming. Also announced today
was the availability of AppleLink®, Apple’s online information and
communication network, to any Apple development customer. These new
self-support products are made available from Apple through APDA™ (Apple
Programmers and Developers Association).
“These new tool bundles are a complete collection of Macintosh technical
resources for both new and existing Macintosh developers,” said Kirk Loevner,
director of the Apple Developer Group. “These bundles demonstrate Apple’s
continued commitment to assisting developers in their initial and ongoing
programming efforts.”
DEVELOPER RESOURCE KIT
The Developer Resource Kit provides a complete bundle of the most valuable
self-support tools from Apple’s library of development resources. Developers
new to Apple programming, or any developer desiring up-to-date Apple
development information and a connection to the Apple community, will find the
resources they need to help keep them referenced and informed. The Developer
Resource Kit includes such items as AppleLink, subscriptions to develop™,
Apple’s quarterly technical journal, and APDAlog®, a quarterly product catalog,
as well as coupons for free offers or discounts on future development product
purchases. The individual resource tools contained in this kit provide
developers a convenient and cost-effective bundle.
GETTING STARTED IN MACINTOSH PROGRAMMING
For a limited time, C and Pascal programmers getting started in Macintosh
computer programming can purchase specially priced third-party language and
documentation bundles. For the C programmer, Apple offers Getting Started in
Macintosh C Programming, a package containing THINK C v. 4.0, as well as four
volumes of technical documentation. For the Pascal programmer, Apple has
developed Getting Started in Macintosh Pascal Programming, which includes THINK
Pascal v. 3.0, Just Enough Pascal and three volumes of technical documentation.
THINK C and THINK Pascal from Symantec Corporation have been the popular choice
for thousands of development customers getting started in Macintosh
programming. Both Getting Started bundles are available through August 1,
1991.

AppleLink through APDA. AppleLink provides a direct connection to the Apple
