Customer Reviews & Comments
I convinced the school library to buy the old version as it's too expensive. This 2nd edition is a lot cheaper and has a lot more to offer than its previous incarnation. A few specific things: * The chapter of Subversion is very useful, with some small nice XCode integration walkthrough. * Also the chaper of Daemons and launchd, probably the only book that mentioned this. * CFRunLoop chapter is nice. My favourite chapter. There're a lot other small tips and tricks that Apple should have documented nicely somewhere, like those environment variables DYLD_PRINT_LIBRARIES showing dynamic libraries in used. Anyway, must have book for all MacOS X cocoa and unix developers!
