FWIW, I have the second edition of Hillegrass. If you don't know any programming (specifically C), then you will find this book rather hard because it assumes some prior knowledge of C and the language constructs. If you want to go from a complete standstill, there are many, many C tutorials on the web, and a raft of books on the subject (I have 'Practical C++ Programming' published by O'Reilly, which takes you from a standing start). If you've never programmed before, be prepared for a steep (but exciting) learning curve.

More as I work through it, if you wish to know... Many thanks! I'd looked for this (the Apple developer tutorial), but missed it. (The Dufus factor! :-) ) A few years back, Apple offered online courses in programming and I thought those were pretty nifty. Unfortunately, they don't seem to be around anymore. :-( I do like VB and have it on a peecee and I have RealBasic on the iMac, but I want to learn Xcode. No real requirement to do so, I just want to get smarter! Anyhow... I've got a small start toward putting together a dynamite Hello World application!!! grin Thanks again for your advice!
