Mac OS X Internals Workshop (August 10, 2006)
Learn More About The Book
Mac OS X Internals: A Systems Approach is the first book that dissects the internals of the system, presenting a detailed picture that grows incrementally as you read. You will learn the roles of the firmware, the bootloader, the Mach and BSD kernel components (including the process, virtual memory, IPC and file system layers), the object-oriented I/O Kit driver framework, user libraries, and other core pieces of software. You will learn how these pieces connect and work internally, where they originated, and how they evolved. Please visit the book's web site, osxbook.com, to learn more.

Jim Mauro, co-author of Solaris Internals: "A remarkable achievement... Fantastic! A brilliant top-down approach to the individual subjects, getting into all the detail one could want, all the while maintaining a wonderfully readable style." |
|
Marc Rochkind, author of Advanced UNIX Programming: "I have a bunch of OS internals books, but this one at 1600 pages is more than twice as big as the next biggest. There are two reasons: Mac OS X is the most functionally rich of any OS I know of, and Singh covers it in amazing detail." |
|
David Butenhof, author of Programming with POSIX® Threads: "The 'nearly everything' book about Mac OS X... Amit Singh writes well, clearly, and simply, despite the complexity and depth of his material. I've found any page to which I might open intriguing and readable." |
|
Dominic Giampaolo, Spotlight and File System engineer at Apple: "Most Impressive! This book has to be one of the most comprehensive treatments of any operating system ever... The depth and breadth of this book make it a must-have for anyone involved in MacOS X programming (IMHO)." |
