I am wondering what people think is a good Think C book for a beginner in Mac C programming. What I want is a introductory book, and so far I havent even found an advanced book. Any ideas?

Hiya, There are two excellent books, both published by Addison-Wesley : Macintosh Programming Primer: Inside the Toolbox Using ThinkC Dave Mark & Cartwright Reed Macintosh C Programming Primer Volume II: Mastering the Toolbox Using ThinkC Dave Mark Although you can use them standalone, if you are really serious about Mac programming you will also need (from Addison-Wesley) : Inside Macintosh Volumes I-V Inside Macintosh X-Ref I personally recommend (Microsoft Press) : The Programmer's Apple Mac Sourcebook Thom Hogan Hope this helps maurice (MacMo) -- Maurice Sharp MSc.

Macintosh C Programming Primer, Volumes 1 & 2 seem to be the favorites.

I've heard many recommendations for "Macintosh Programming Primer:Inside the
Toolbox using THINK C"

Then try "C Primer++" from the Waite Group. Also it's not to hard to learn
C from K&R, Second Eddition.

Thanks for all of you that have helped me find myself a Macintosh C book. I am currently progressing in it and appreciate all of your support!

TML Pascal had an option called "TextBook." This allowed one to use the Mac
like an interactive dumb terminal so one could use the Pascal I/O from textbooks
with no modifications. I believe that Think Pascal has a text window for the
same purpose, so I would imagine that Think C also can be used in "textbook
mode."
The point being that one should be able to learn to C whilest using a Mac compiler...
