Do you know assembly language? If so, do you know 65816 assembly?

Apple published a technical library for the Apple IIgs. You can buy these
books used thru Amazon.com or you can find PDF copies of them on some Apple
II web sites.

Two great sources are these sites:
https://apple2.gs/library.php
http://brutaldeluxe.fr/documentation/index.html


So the answer to your question of where to start: you need to start reading.

Best place to start is the language you will use, get Orca and dive into the tutorials that come with it.  Gonna of stuff available to jack through and learn with.

Download the latest Index.txt file from <ftp://ftp.apple.asimov.net/pub/apple_II/> and search it for anything and everything Apple "IIGS" that might interest you.  Download (FTP) what you need from ASIMOV.
