Hello everyone,
I installed CodeWarrior 7 on my PowerBook G3 Wallstreet running Mac OS
9.2.2. I`m interested in learning to GUI program on the Mac using
Carbon or the Mac Toolkit. I already know how to program in C and was
wondering if there are any sites or pointers that you guys can give
me. This is so that I may be able to write some software for the old
platform.
Thanks.

I've only skimmed them, but the "Macintosh C" books don't look bad. They are available online in both Carbon and Classic versions:

I've searched through the Carbon version to find answers to my Carbon API questions, mainly because the official docs are no longer indexed by search engines (thanks, Apple).

I prefer the classic APIs to the Carbon stuff. If you don't care about ever running on OS X, I would avoid Carbon. Older APIs == simpler == better.
