OS News takes a look at 'Advanced Mac OS X Programming'

Advanced Mac OS X Programming Blessed are the programmers because they make cool stuff for our Macs to run. OSnews.com takes a look at the newest book for developers from Big Nerd Ranch called 'Advanced Mac OS X Programming,' which is actually the second edition of the book previously known as 'Core Mac OS X and Unix Programming.'

What did  OSnews think of the book? They were fans of the original, so it isn't shocking that they liked the second edition as well. Lots of info about OS 10.4 has been added, and an introductory chapter to C has been removed making this book squarely aimed at people who already know who to program and are interested in learning more about programming for OS X.

"squarely aimed at people who already know who to program and are interested in learning more about programming for OS X." Should read: "...at people who already know _how_ to..."

The way I read it, it's the second edition of "Core Mac OS X and Unix Programming". Either way, both books are on my to read list...

I'm under the impression that Adv Mac OS X Prog. replaces "Core Mac OS X and Unix Programming" not Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X. CMOSXUP was "part two" of CPfMOX, and so CPfMOX is still the intro book to Cocoa programming, only now afterwards one graduates to AMOXP.
