One thing I've learned is that Inside Macintosh is just the primer. It may look like all you need - it lists all the Toolbox functions and how they work, and walks you through how things ought to fit together!

But in reality to make anything beyond TeachText you need to read: every Technote, every Q&A, skim every relevant sample code, every Snippet, and also read every issue of develop.

Then you can start to approach being able to attempt to do something!

@kalleboo and i thought dealing with xcode was misery. this is exactly the 10/10 warning i needed to never, ever bother learning how to code for the mac 68k. thank you 🙏
@vga256 Every failed attempt (for something as "low level" as networking) requires a complete OS reboot. You better believe I've paired down the extensions I have installed!!
