@eschaton @gruber Thanks for the heads up on this!

I'll supplement the links on the #NewtonScript website (https://newtonscript.org) with these PDFs. The site currently links to the somewhat-broken (often missing images & code samples) MacTech Magazine archives.

@gruber In addition to scans of Mac programming books, VintageApple.org has a complete archive of Apple’s _develop_ magazine, which is exemplar of how a platform vendor should communicate with developers. https://vintageapple.org/develop/

Between being run by Caroline Rose and Louella Pizzuti and featuring articles about system technologies written by the system software engineers and developer technical support engineers directly responsible for them, it really was an incredible publication.
