Resources Of Macintosh Development

As I said in older questions, we(I and my friend) are trying to develop in a Macintosh IIci(System 7.5.5 68k processor), but we don't know where to start, then I'm asking here for some resources to develop on it. Thanks.

If you're going to develop for older versions of MacOS like System 7.x then you may want to use Pascal. Here are possible books and tools to look at:

Books

  1. Inside Macintosh: Toolbox Essentials
  2. Inside Macintosh: Imaging with Quickdraw

Tools

  1. Metrowerks CodeWarrior 8 (or 10): PPC & 68K, Pascal, C, C++
  2. Think Pascal/Think C: 68K only, Pascal or C
  3. MacsBug

The Macintosh Programmer's Workshop might be a good place to start.

Buy yourselves a copy of Inside Macintosh (PDF), the official developer documentation for Mac OS (classic). Back issues of MacTech magazine are a good high-level place to start. In the day, MacTech was the journal for mac developers.

It's been a lot of years, but the prominent application frameworks in classic Mac OS were Metrowerks' PowerPlant, Symantec's Think Class Library. If you have a Metrowerks compiler, stick with PowerPlant, which has been open-sourced.
