Rating: - Excellent, in depth coverage of OS X UNIX programming
This book is a bit on the pricey side, but it delivers the goods more than many other expensive book in my bookshelf. I own hundreds of programming books (as well as have written several of them). Of them all there is only a handful that I consider trully excellent. This is one of them.
This book covers every possible topic (both OS X specific and UNIX) that you could possibly think of, but the coverage is not lightweight. It is heavy duty information delivered at its best. Fine code ... Read More
Rating: - Excellent Reference for OS X Developers

Rating: - Amazing, advanced Mac OS X book
If you're a programmer and you want to learn more about Mac OS X and its Unix underpinnings, you must have this book. The information in here is not available anywhere else, including in Apple's documentation. The authors have done a remarkable job in ferreting out cool stuff, such as how the memory model works, programming with sockets, using GDB, multithreading, and a zillion more nifty topics. This is a remarkable book.
Rating: - One of the best
This is probably the best book I own on Mac programming. It goes into the lower level, hard-core topics that other books are afraid to touch. As I read it straight through, cover to cover, I see how I've been doing things wrong, and I constantly refer back to concepts I just read when I write new code. It makes me the envy of all my peers.
Rating: - Book from great people
I bought some months ago "Cocoa programming for Mac OS X" written by the same author A. Hillegass. It was the key book for me to understand the Cocoa. Now I write my own applications and I am sure the next book from The Big Nerd Ranch will help me to discover next areas of the Mac OS X Programming.
However it is a pity that Amazon.com tells us it is a bargain (nearly 30% off the catalog price $97.95). On the Big Nerd Ranch there is a link to a company which sells this book for $65.
