Rating: - All the neat tricks that aren't seen anywhere
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!
