New in Mac development

[MP09]

HI

I am new in Mac development environment. I need help about how to write
program in Mac OS x. I want to write application for Mac OS x which
invoke Apple Mail Application. I had done little bit search about that
but confused which language i should choose. I want to choose language
which is easier and support cocoa to invoke external application.
Can anybody help me regarding this?
I am running Mac OS x 10.2.3 with Mail application 1.2.3.

Thanks

You have blundered into the wrong newsgroup.
try comp.sys.mac.programmer.help

For cocoa, Objective C
For piggybacking on other applications, Applescript

Become an associate member of Apple Developer Connection (free)
then grab all the XCode goodies and examples

Buy Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X by Aaron Hillegas
Buy Applescript The Definitive Guide by Matt Neuberg
(heh! maybe you *are* in the right newsgroup!)

You want to use AppleScript in Mail. It's the only way to do it. This is not
the place to ask, but I can direct you. First learn the rudiments of the
AppleScript language. The best way is by getting "AppleScript: The
Definitive Guide" by Matt Neuburg, published by O'Reilly. Then join the
AppleScript Users mailing list, which you can do by following links on the
Apple website (/Developer/AppleScript/Resources/mailing List). Ask your
question there. Mail's implementation of AppleScript is extremely perverse,
so you will need some help with it. The mailing list can provide it.
(Personally, I don't touch Mails scripting with a 10-foot pole.)
