Another recent release from The Byte Works is the "Toolbox Programming in Pascal" set. The course is designed to guide programmers through the ins and outs of the Apple //GS toolbox using the ORCA/Pascal development environment.
Geared toward intermediate and advanced programmers, "Toolbox Programming in Pascal" uses a hands on teaching approach. The course has been broken down into 18 lessons covering all aspects of designing and writing toolbox programs. A long the way, the programmer will write dozens of working desktop programs, including a slide show program that views, prints (in color), and loads and saves screen dump pictures; a small text editor; a scrapbook; a music instrument sampler; and much more.
"Toolbox Programming in Pascal" comes with the largest library of Pascal toolbox source code ever assembled.Four disks filled with source code are included in the package. This includes the source code to all of the examples in the book, and working solutions to every problem.The disks also include a copy of Apple's Rez resource compiler and sample data files for programs developed in the course.
"Toolbox Programming in Pascal" also includes an abridged toolbox reference manual. This manual is so comprehensive that no other reference materials are needed for this course.
The course fully supports Apple's latest operating system, 6.0. It uses new 6.0 features throughout the course to create up to date programs.

Byte Works products tend to be designed conservatively, paying strict attention to industry standards and protocol. This makes it easier for programmers to use their knowledge of other systems to program the Apple II line.
