You already have all the software you need on the Developer CD which came with MacOS X. O'Reilly Publishing have a growing list of excellent reference books on Cocoa programming, and Boffins Bookshop in Perth have a decent selection from other publishers as well. To get started, you could also check out Mike Beam's excellent series of articles at <http://www.macdevcenter.com/>. -- Peter Hinchliffe Apwin Computer Services FileMaker Pro Solutions Developer Perth, :::::::::::::::::::::::: Western Australia Phone (618) 9332 6482 Fax (618) 9332 0913 -------------------------------------------------------------------- Mac because I prefer it -- Windows because I have to.
