Question on building an app using ProjectBuilder..

[WhateverJoe]

I only know VB/RB coding and their respetive IDE's. Where would be a resource to decent resource that could help someone start building software using ProjectBuilder?

It's not the language, syntax and soforth for me, I just wish projectBuilder had something like RB does... a help reference with example sniplets and soforth. Those things are what got me started quick. When I open ProjectBuilder, it's just an advanced text editor and I need to know from the top of my head what in the heck to type into a blank .h or .c file

At anyrate, I'm stuck in a situation where I need to use ProjectBuilder because RB can not see the serial ports off a USB>Serial adaptor. The information with the adaptor tells what POSIX API calls to use to access the ports. I need to write something that has no window just a console.out window of sorts that displays actions ("print") read and write to the serial ports and take that information and insert new records into a mySQL database... A large task to start with I fear... but I have to get it done....
I can do it in REALBasic quick if it could only see the ports

Any sugestions or links to help someone get started with such is very much enjoyed!

Thanks

Accept for the API's available on Apple's site, there's not a whole lot of documentation or code snippets, but you ought to take a look at the few tutorials that are available on the Developers CD.

Otherwise it's been all about experimentation for me.
