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.

JonP, I can't agree with you there. If they cover Perforce they had to cover other alternatives, for example clearcase as you mention, and absolutly cover CVS. CVS is to widespread to ignore. I also can't agree that only "professionals" would buy this book.
Everyone can set up a CVS repository at home so it makes sense to use that as an example. If you are a professional then you surely know and probably already use a version control system and know what it is about.
I really can't see any reason to include a chapter on using perforce or any other commercial system.
