Folks: Title implies question: how does one become a Mac programmer? I have the programmers button installed on my Mac SE and I have Macintosh Pascal 2.0. Do I need to upgrade to THINK Pascal? Do I need to join the Apple Programmers/Developers Association? If this is the case, what are the advantages/disadvantages of joining/not joining? Do I also need to buy the Macintosh Programmers Workbench (the beginners' version if available)? Also, what books do I need to buy to get me started as a Mac Programmer? How many programs have been written in Macintosh Pascal 2.0? I also have MacsBug (ver. unknown) installed in my System, which is 6.0.3. BTW, I have just started reading this newsgroup, so forgive me. bradley@andromeda.rutgers.edu (Eugene Bradley) <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<"May you never have to hear surf music again!">>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> -Jimi Hendrix

I'd just like to add that some sample source code is available on the net that may be of use as a learning aid. First, Apple provides sample source. It's available via anonymous ftp from host apple.apple.com. See directory /pub/dts/mac. Second, a bunch of source code is archived on sumex-aim.stanford.edu. See /info-mac/source. --Pete
