REALbasic

This text not only gives you a firm grasp of REALbasic's essential concepts, but also tells you things you won't learn from the official documentation alone. If you've never programmed before, the book offers both a primer in REALbasic and an intuitive approach to the concepts of programming itself, as you quickly reach the ability to program every aspect of REALbasic. You start out drawing the interface much as you would do in a drawing program: by selecting buttons, menus, dialogue boxes, and the like from a tools menu. Then you use the code editor to fill in the code that tells these pieces what to do.
