Summary: A hand-holding tutorial
Comment: If you have a copy of OS X and the Apple Development tools, this book will get you started programming the Mac. Each new function call is abundantly explained and illustrated with first code fragments, and then a complete working program. Few of the example programs take more than two pages for their entire source code.
This is the book's strength and weakness. As an experienced programmer and someone who has dabbled with Mac programming for years I found the pace of the book plodding and repetitive. I wished for a little less coverage on each topic so there would be room for more topics. But this will certainly stay on my shelf since, for those topics that were covered, I know I will be able to turn back and find fully worked out examples and explanations for these routines basic usage.
But now I need to figure out what to read next to become a better Carbon programmer, besides, of course, Apple's reference documentation.

Summary: Missing Source Code Website
Comment: This is a very good book, BUT the support is lousy! There is a reference to download the example source code inside the book (the published link is macosxprogramming.com) but that web link does not have the source code to the book!
BEWARE! Before buying this book, check to see if you can get the example code as the book does NOT come with an accompanying CD.

Summary: Carbon-based training wheels
Comment: If you've written MacOS applications or used other event-oriented frameworks, this book will get you started with Carbon-based applications and the Mac OS X Project Builder Software.
The book is easy to read with great examples. It's the perfect starting point if you have a Mac OS application that needs to be converted to Carbon.
