Summary
“Core Mac OS X and Unix Programming” is the first book to introduce
programmers to Darwin and the Core Technologies. Without an understanding
of how the plumbing works, developers cannot get the best performance and
reliability out of their Mac OS X applications. This book provides that
knowledge.
