API mapping for Win32 API to MAC API (Laurence Harris)

He needs to take some time to understand how Carbon works and is fundamentally different than Win32. Whether you like me saying it or not, people are generally more willing to help someone who has invested time and energy trying to understand things before coming here. If you come here asking people to tell you how to do things before you've learned the fundamentals, it really doesn't go over so well.

I formally disagree with this statement !
Carbon is NOT fundamentally different from Win32 - Both are based an a very similar event handling mechanism which makes possible a common set of code on both plateforms.
Resources can be easily translated. Win32 controls in windows work similarly to Carbon Controls and HiViews - Window Management is quite similar. Endianness is the only delicate question.
Of course everything is not identical but with some wrappers, it is very easy to convert a Win32 app into a pure C or C++ Carbon app.
That is why I am so desperate that Carbon might disappear in the future....
