Object-Oriented Programming for the Macintosh is a programming book by Kurt J. Schmucker, published by Hayden Book Company, Hasbrouck Heights, New Jersey, ©1986 Productivity Products International, Inc.; ISBN 0-8104-6565-5, Library of Congress 86-7668. The foreword is by Larry Tesler of Apple. The printed book runs to p. 608 (the end of the index); the scan has 613 PDF pages, including an advertisement for the QuadWorld source disk. (The page title's "fo" is a misspelling of "for".)

The book teaches object-oriented programming through Apple's MacApp class library and Object Pascal, built around a sample application, QuadWorld. Tesler's foreword notes that the author worked with Apple for over a year during MacApp's testing. Later chapters cover Smalltalk-80, the Lisa's Clascal and Lisa ToolKit, and other object-oriented languages on the Macintosh.
