How to Use This Book
Most of the information in this book is useful for anyone programming Mac OS-based computers, but certain sections may be applicable only for programmers writing development tools or other low-level applications. In such cases, the opening paragraphs indicate the specialized nature of the information they contain.If you are writing programs for the CFM-based runtime architecture, you should read chapters 1, 2, and 3 first in order, then move on to more specialized chapters as necessary.
If you are writing programs for the classic 68K runtime architecture, read Chapter 10, "Classic 68K Runtime Architecture," and then refer to Chapter 11, "Classic 68K Runtime Conventions," as necessary.
