Aaron Hillegass' new book, titled "Core Mac OS X and Unix Programming", is now available in the stores. In the past, we reviewed his previous book "Cocoa Programming for MacOSX" and we got a good idea of Aaron's elegant writing style, descriptive chapters and advanced development under Mac OS X. In this book, he goes down under, teaching us how to handle and develop for the underpinnings of OSX, the core of the OS.

You have to be realistic here. Hillegass writes these books also as a promoting way for his Big Nerd Ranch week-long classes. This is his main business. People who will buy this (expensive) book, are people who are most likely to attend his classes. These PRO developers want to learn about Mac OS X for their applications and products, they don't care on hacking Darwin. Darwin hackers -- except the Apple employees-- are students and open source devs/enthusiasts, with most of the time no money for the $4000 classes that Aaron offers. Therefore, the main audience of this book, pro developers, are more likely to be using ClearCase or Perforce than CVS. And that was a miss in that book in my opinion too.
