For a couple of years, Big Nerd Ranch has been quietly publishing a
great book called "Core Mac OS X and Unix Programming." The book
discusses how the plumbing of Mac OS X works, and how you as a
programmer can leverage the power hidden there. It covers topics
like multithreading, exceptions, NSTask, Distributed Objects,
Bonjour, CFRunLoop, the keychain, directory services, and network
programming with sockets. It also covers the tools: the debugger,
the compiler, the linker, and the performance tools. The book is the
natural sequel to "Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X."
The purpose of this posting is to announce the second edition. In
light of Apple's decision to prefix the name of every new technology
with the word "Core", we have renamed the book "Advanced Mac OS X
Programming."
The new edition is longer (646 pages) and less expensive (MSRP
$69.99, but you can get it from us for $48.99). It has been brought
up-to-date with Tiger, Xcode, gcc 4.0, Universal binaries, the new
Cocoa exceptions, and 64-bit code. We now cover Subversion rather
than CVS. We've added a chapter on kqueues. We've added discussions
of launchd and @synchronize. The discussion of the CHUD tools has be
expanded.
You can get the complete table of contents, browse the reviews of the
first edition, and order the book here:

Mark Dalrymple wrote most of the book, and I wanted to take this
opportunity to thank him for gathering so much wisdom into one handy
tome. Thanks, Mark!
