It is a great book for an introduction to the basics behind programming in the BeOS. It is only up to date as of R4.5 though, make sure you read the BeBook that comes with R5 when you run into problems. For the most part tho, it will get you along nicely. -Ben -----Original Message----- From: Adam Baratz [mailto:Adam_Baratz@xxxxxxx] Sent: Mon 3/3/2003 5:05 PM To: openbeos@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: Subject: [openbeos] Re: Open Letter (New to BeOS) > I am an experienced C++ programmer.

However, I think there were some changes with the API since its publication. It should be a reader-friendly introduction to programming for BeOS, but I don't think it will bring you up to speed with the OS as it is now. -Adam
