More than two years ago we reviewed the first edition of the excellent book by Aaron Hillegass, "Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X". The second edition has just being released and we will be taking a quick look as to what's new.

" I'm almost positive it was a carbon app, can anyone give me any knowledge on that?"
Yes, it sure was. It takes a long time to rewrite large complicated apps like that. Even the Finder, iTunes, and QuickTime Player are stil carbon. A large part of the reason they dropped it for OS X was the next version was a complete rewrite, even on Windows, and the effort for writing two completely different versions (Windows and OS X) when one wasn't going to sell very well against FCP just wasn't worth it.
