Big Nerd Ranch announces the release of "Core Mac OS X and Unix
Programming", co-authored by Mark Dalrymple and Aaron Hillegass.
Previously available only as a student guide for the Big Nerd Ranch
class by the same name, the new 541-page book shows programmers the
underpinnings of Mac OS X.
Students of the Big Nerd Ranch class have claimed substantial increases
in application performance and reliability, as Core Mac OS X and Unix
Programming allowed them to harness the power underlying Mac OS X.
Written by Big Nerd Ranch instructors Dalrymple and Hillegass, the new
book shows developers how their applications can most effectively use
the tools and APIs that make up Darwin and the Core Technologies.
Topics covered are the same as those in the $3500 training class,
including:
* Advanced C
* GCC
* Libraries and Frameworks
* Memory
* GDB
* Exceptions and Signals
* The File System
* NSFileManager
* Sockets
* CFRunLoop
* Using Multiple Processes
* NSTask
* The Keychain
* Authorization and Authentication
* Distributed Objects
* Rendezvous
* Open Directory
* Multithreading with Pthreads and NSThread
* Using Distributed Objects to Coordinate Threads
* CVS
* Performance Tuning
