New OS X books from O'Reilly
Learning Unix for Mac OS X
By Dave Taylor & Jerry Peek
Learning Unix for Mac OS X is a concise introduction to Unix on Mac
OS X for Macintosh users who want to tap the power of Unix. The book
shows how to use the Terminal application, navigate the command line,
and explore many useful, time-tested Unix applications.
Building Cocoa Applications: A Step-by-Step Guide
By Simson Garfinkel & Michael K. Mahoney
Building Cocoa Applications takes a step-by-step approach to teaching
developers how to build real graphics applications using Cocoa. The
book starts by showing the basics of an application in one chapter and
then layering additional functionality onto that application in
subsequent chapters. By the end of the book, readers who have built
applications as they have read will have a solid understanding of what
it really means to develop complete and incrementally more complex
Cocoa applications.
Mac OS X Pocket Reference: A User's Guide to Mac OS X
By Chuck Toporek
The Mac OS X Pocket Reference introduces users to Mac, Windows, and
Unix and to the fundamental concepts of Mac OS X. The book starts out
with a "Mac OS X Survival Guide," which shows Mac users what's changed
from Mac OS 9, and also helps Windows and Unix converts get acclimated
with their new OS. The "Mac OS X Pocket Reference" concludes with a 30+
page "Task and Setting" index, which answers questions that users might
have when trying to configure their system.
