I went overboard. I bought the following programming materials --
Inside Macintosh I, II, IV, V
LightspeedC 2.13, ResEdit, etc.
2 Issues of MacTutor.
Several "Sample" C programs from the net.
I've written simple stuff using LSC's UNIX shell -- I'm experienced at
C/UNIX, and the windowing on DLions (Xerox Tajo / MESA) programming.
So what's the fastest (& cheapest?) way to become proficient at the
writing applications/cdevs/inits/fkeys? Is there a good tutorial book
out there, complete with sample projects and/or exercises? Anything
that deals with the limitations of LightspeedC? Esp. with cdevs/inits/fkeys?
I could read all of Inside Macintosh, but this is on my spare time,
and would like to learn this machine quickly & efficiently. Inside
Macintosh doesn't cover "the best way" to create/edit resources, or
the steps in efficient application development. I have a feeling that
INIT/CDEV/FKEY development is mysterious.
