- APPRENTICE: CD-ROM OF OVER 450 MEGABYTES OF MAC SOURCE CODE AND UTILITIES
- FOR ONLY $35
-
- Port Townsend, Washington -- May 26, 1994 -- Celestin Company releases
- Apprentice, an attractively priced CD-ROM compilation of Mac source code
- and utilities. Many Macintosh programmers have been frustrated by the lack
- of an inexpensive collection of sample source code. The few collections
- that are available are not only out of the price range of many people, but
- contain outdated examples that may no longer demonstrate effective
- programming techniques. Apprentice contains over 450 megabytes of
- up-to-date source code, as well as quality programming utilities to assist
- novice as well as experienced developers.
-
- In order to compile such an exhaustive collection of quality source code,
- Celestin Company contacted over 200 Macintosh developers and received their
- permission to include some of the best programming examples available.
- Users will find complete working examples of applications, games, control
- panels, extensions, utilities, and much more. Most of the source code is in
- C, C++, and Pascal.
-
- PROGRAMMING THE EASY WAY
-
- Those new to Mac programming, will find the included "shell" programs very
- useful. These are complete application frameworks that take care of many of
- the tedious tasks associated with Mac programming, including menus,
- standard dialogs, file handling, and the like. A complete Mac application
- can be built in no time, by simply providing the code to perform specific
- activities. All other aspects of the Macintosh environment are handled by
- the shell utilities.
-
- Apprentice contains dozens of libraries, routines designed around a
- specific task, from graphics and sounds to menu management and serial
- communications. Many of these libraries include complete source code. Also
- included are hundreds of code "snippets", small routines that perform
- specific programming tasks. From displaying a color icon or resolving a
- file name alias, developers will find what they are looking for in this
- definitive collection.
-
- GOOD NEWS FOR MPW USERS
-
- MPW users will find dozens of new and interesting tools, languages, and
- utilities, many with complete source code. And developers looking to learn
- a new language, or just dabble, will find more than 20 complete standalone
- programming environments. Ada, C, Forth, Lisp, Modula-2, Oberon, and Prolog
- are only a few of the languages included. Most come with complete
- documentation and programming examples, and some include complete source
- code to the language itself.
-
- INFORMATION, INFORMATION, INFORMATION
-
- The information hungry will find technical specifications, language
- guidelines, programming hints, as well as a complete collection of the
- comp.sys.mac.programmer digest, a compendium of information from one of the
- best Mac programmer discussion groups on the electronic networks. Also
- included are demonstration versions of commercial programmer utilities,
- including installers, code and resource editors, database libraries, and
- much more.
-
- Everything on the disc is indexed using several different utilities, so
- users will find what they are looking for quickly and easily.
-
- Apprentice is $35, which includes standard shipping within the United
- States and Canada. It comes with an unconditional 30-day money-back
- guarantee, and customers who for any reason are dissatisfied with their
- purchase, are entitled to an immediate refund.
