Reviews

New Macintosh computers are already shipping with the updated Mac operating system, OS X. At its core are a pair of foundation libraries, Carbon and Cocoa, that ease and speed the development of new Mac applications. Apple staff wrote both books, which is good and bad. On one hand, readers know that the information is coming straight from the source, but too often publisher-penned books lack objectivity. Learning Cocoa introduces OS X's new programming aspects, e.g., Aqua, the "liquid" interface, through a series of basic programming projects. Learning Carbon provides much of the same type of information for the application program interface, also at a basic level. If your library serves a large number of Mac and student programmers, these are good tutorials to have on the shelf. But many members of those audiences have probably accessed the same information for free at developer.apple.com/macosx.
