Hi Dale
As a follow-on to our conversation regarding The Leopard, I wonder if
you could help me find a path to further appreciation of The Beast -
re: making use of its Development potential.
I can work in C (very modestly!) and I always install the 'Developer'
Pack to use gcc for compiling little C tools for use in a shell -
sometimes just for fun. But I've yet to cross the Rubicon and build
anything with a proper Apple-flavoured GUI. Perhaps that's not
im****tant to what I've been doing, but here's where your comment (that
the improvements in 10.5 might be most fruitful for Developers) starts
to interest me.
Wearing your educational hat - though leaving Aunt Ada aside for a
moment - could I ask you to recommend a book (or sequence of them) to
help me cross that divide? There are so many of them it's hard to know
where to start - not being a Scientist. If it helps, as a Humanityrian
I'm primarily working with text (chuncks of it), and it's selective
retrieval.
I'd be grateful for any leads here.
Thanks
Emma
