Hi there Esther, Barry, Ishe, et al. I really appreciate how friendly and kind you've all been to this newby. These suggestions are wonderful, and I intend to make use of them all.
Do the O'Reilly books assume much programming experience? Tony Hernandez http://dutyofman.net/ Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep His commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.

Go to the iBooks Store and pick up some of the free Apple Developer Publications. There are 6 of them, with 3 covering iOS specific topics (Human Interface Guide, Application Programming, and Technology Overview), and 3 more on general programming topics (Objective C Programming, Object-Oriented Programming, and a Guide to Cocoa Fundamentals -- which is the basis of the OS X programming environment). Just put "Apple Developer" into the search field. The other thing you can consider doing longer term, is joining Bookshare, but that's $50/year. It includes access to all the computer books published by O'Reilly. Those books are also all available for international Bookshare memberships. HTH.

I don't have much money; in fact I think I'm done spending much on anything but food and clothing and shelter after buying the Mac. Is there good documentation on Objective C for someone with some programming experience? I have done a little bit of PERL programming and a very small amount of C++, as well as plenty of JAWS scripting and some Java in school. I understand the concept of objects and know HTML pretty well. It will probably be a somewhat uphill slope learning Objective C, but I believe I can do it. I just need a boost. This Mac is a business investment, as I'm sure those of you who are reading this thread have already gathered. Again, Thank you.
