Chapter 1 - Introduction
Welcome inside. This chapter begins the discussion of programming for Macintosh computers by describing the general organization of the Macintosh system software, a collection of routines that you'll use to simplify your development of Macintosh applications. The system software provides, among other things, routines that you can use to create and manage the essential parts of your application's user interface. This chapter illustrates the organization and content of the system software by dissecting a very simple sample application.
