It's a great book for dealing with:
- file IO, permissions
- processes (ie controlling the execution of programs)
- threads
- sockets/pipes
There is a lot of stuff in there that has little relevance on a UNIX implementation like Mac OS X (such as the discussion of pseudo-terminals).
It doesn't cover any user interface or console graphics topics. You'd need to read up on libraries such as 'curses' or 'ncurses' to write the interface to your console text editor.
