Greg,
It sounds to me that what you are looking for is books on how to
program. REALbasic is simply the tool you use to build the application.
In many ways, the real work in creating a "complete professional
application" is in the design of it, and in understanding computer
programming sufficiently to know what you will need to do in order to
build it. Once you have done this, it is simply a matter of determining
how the tool you are using, in this case REALbasic, implements those
features. Some books I would recommend as starting points include
Code Complete
About Face 2.0
Mastering the Requirements Process
Software for Use
There are numerous others and I am sure others on this list may have
some suggestions. I am starting to use REALbasic after an extensive
background in other languages (C, C++, Delphi, Fortran, Visual Basic).
What I am finding is that the most useful document for me is the
language reference. I have the software design completed and I now refer
to the reference to learn how I use REALbasic to produce what I want.
Sincerely,
Mark

Subject: Re: Mac REALbasic book and Windows REALbasic
Is there a book, web page, or Real Basic pdf document that has an
outline of
what steps are needed to create a complete professional application? I
feel
like I am building a house, and there are hundreds of little things to
know -
like the wiring, the plumbing, the framing, the drywall, the paint, the
flooring.
It seems 2 of the 4 RB books (the dummy/idiot guide, and the quickstart)
are
good for getting started from zero. Matt's book has really excellent
details
but seems out of date, and its hard to use as a reference since there
are
internal cross references.
I really appreciate this list to help sort things out, and to point me
in the
direction of what to lookup in the reference manual at times. But I
would not
have to bother others with simple questions if there were more of a
direct
reference. Is this other book like that?
Greg
