Perfect for those with little or no knowledge of programming who want to begin developing for Macintosh, and for more experienced developers who are new to the Macintosh.
Discover Programming for Macintosh combines the award-winning, full-featured CodeWarrior C/C++ and Object Pascal tools for 680x0 Macintosh computers with a wide range of learning resources, at an entry-level price. Four online books complete your programming education. Exercises from Dave Mark's "Learn C on the Macintosh" and "Learn C++ on the Macintosh" along with Jim Trudeau's "Programming Starter Kit for Macintosh" have been converted to Apple Guide files for expert help that is a mouse-click away, and plenty of sample source code is included to help you get started on the road to success.
The CD also contains special third-party tools and demos, and a World Wide Web Apple Guide file that leads you to programming resources on the Internet. When you are ready to develop for the Power Macintosh or other platforms, Metrowerks offers upgrade paths to both CodeWarrior Gold and Bronze.
Technical Specifications:
Discover Programming for Macintosh compiles for the Motorola 68020, 68030 and 68040 Macintosh. The 680x0-native Macintosh compiler is built as a fat binary, meaning that it runs native on both 680x0 and Power Macintosh systems. Applications compiled with Discover Programming for Macintosh will run in emulation on the Power Macintosh, but will not be Power Macintosh native.
