Reviews / Votes
A timely and complete reference for OS X is in order. Maria Langer's Mac OS X faltered, but Feiler has come through. He clearly covers a range of concepts, including the Aqua interface, networking, applications, and, surprisingly, programming OS X with Carbon and Cocoa. This volume lives up to its name - the programming aspect is a nice bonus. Highly recommended for libraries catering to Mac users. Library Journal 20010801More details
