For me as well. I am DEFINITELY NOT a low level macintosh programmer, so most of bbraun's posts are way over my head, because he is using hardware/OS API specific mnemonics that I dont quite understand. At most I ran a BASIC compiler on the macintosh, like RealBasic which you dont need to know any of this stuff and wrote mac software this way.

FutureBasic is alot more low-level and you have to know the API and the entire toolbox to use this software, much like codewarrior, So you can compile low level extensions, drivers, etc.. RealBasic takes all that out of it, kinda like VisualBasic did for windows, but at the cost of compiling drivers and extensions. Maybe control panels, but thats it.

But i do follow along.
