Leopard Technical Q&As: Carbon
Carbon is a set of APIs that take advantage of new features and enhancements of Mac OS X, including protected memory, preemptive multitasking and dynamic resource allocation, as well as the Aqua interface. Because Carbon is a collection of C programming interfaces, developers can use virtually any Macintosh C development environment that supports PowerPC to build Carbon games.
