i would start by looking at the documentation about writing your own externals as that reveals a bit about how the systems are archetechted.

Hello,

Can anyone point me in a good direction for learning more about the design of systems like PD and Max/MSP? I'm interested in understanding these systems on a more abstract level in programming terms. Kind of a computer science perspective on their design... So far I've looked through the code a bit for PD and jMax but documentation on how these systems are put together would be really cool, if that even exists!

Thanks.

Chad
