Mac OS X Internals by Amit Singh

Mac OS X Internals by Amit Singh

Mac OS X was released in March 2001, but many components, such as Mach and BSD, are considerably older. This book includes the roles of the firmware, the bootloader, the Mach and BSD kernel components (including the process, virtual memory, IPC, and file system layers), and more. It covers several key areas of the Intel-based Macintosh computers.

 "Overall, I recommend this book to anyone that wants a deeper understanding of the internals of the MacintoshIf you are a developer, this is a must-have book."--Justin Williams, Founder, Maczealots.com

 

"It's a book that every administrator and developer of almost any kind of hardware and software would want to own. It explains the how as opposed to the what of OS X more clearly, thoroughly and intelligently than any other book on the market."--Mark Sealey, Contributing Editor, ThinkSecret.com
