This tutorial and reference distills exactly what programmers need to know about the Macintosh Programmer's Workshop (MPW), the standard software development system for the Mac. The book begins with fundamental principles and progresses to advanced examples.

This book offers Macintosh programmers methods for designing object-oriented software; presents OOP concepts and principles; and provides examples in C++ and Object Pascal. In particular, the authors focus on the design and development issues inherent in large OOP applications.

This is the first book available that shows Macintosh programmers how to localize existing products and how to take into account international issues when designing future products. This important guide contains checklists and guidelines for each step in the design process.

This book demystifies the voluminous MPW documentation by distilling exactly what programmers need to know. Volume II examines the tools and programming languages designed to be used with MPW, including C++, Object Pascal, and SADE.

The Macintosh Toolbox, the set of programming tools incorporated into all Macintosh computers, is the key to programming the interface. This book shows how to go beyond the documentation to manipulate and expand the toolbox. The authors describe all of the interface elements included in the Toolbox and show how to program them, bring them together, and exploit the potential of each element.
