- There is a very good book called the Macintosh Programming Primer,
- though I don't have it with me and don't remember the author. A book
- like this is essential for really learning the Macintosh implementation
- of C.
-
- If you are also new to C (and not just the Mac) you'll also need
- a C textbook. If you are a programmer and just want to quicly pick
- up C syntax, The C Programming Language by Kernighan and Ritchie
- is good (though a bit too terse for my tastes). If you aren't
- a programmer already, or if you don't like a books as terse as
- K&R, either the New C Primer Plus (Waite and Prata) or Programming
- in ANSI C (Kochan) are good.
