Advanced Mac OS X Programming

Second part of the previously reviewed Cocoa book... This is also the second edition of "Core Mac OS X and Unix Programming," which is a more accurate title. This is a cool book - much different from the (practical) tutorial based first book, this book is a walk through of unix programming and subsystems specific to OS X. Covers File I/O, file systems, socket basic, the OS X keychain, BSD kqueues, etc. Written in a consumable and readable style, I was sad to finish. The chapters stand well alone (in fact, I read them very out of order reading first about the topics that were new to me).
