Mac OS 10.5.8

Mac OS X, Apple’s newest operating system for the Macintosh platform, is profoundly different from its earlier versions because of its similarity to the UNIX operating system. For developers writing software for OS X this means adjusting to two new environments to create applications and to access the enhanced features of the new OS, Cocoa and Carbon. Cocoa is an object-oriented API in which all future OS X programs will be written. Carbon is a transitional technology allowing compatibility of applications written for earlier versions of the Mac OS with Mac OS X.Mac OS X Developer’s Guide focuses equally on Cocoa and Carbon, guiding the reader through these technologies and showing how to write applications in both. It is the first book for Mac OS X developers written for those who are already working on applications, as well as new developers just getting started. It starts off describing the new OS and its development tools then focuses on specific programming issues, providing tips on making the transition from classic Mac OS code to Mac OS X.

* A guide for developers already writing applications as well as new developers just getting started
* Focuses equally on both Cocoa and Carbon environments
* Provides tips on transitioning from writing code for classic Mac OS to OS X
* References Apple online materials extensively, to keep developers up to speed on changes

As you begin developing for Mac OS X, you’ll face major changes, lots of difficult decisions, and also some terrific opportunities. The Mac OS X Developer’s Guide aims to do more than help you make the transition painlessly: It’s dedicated to helping you capitalize on these opportunities and positively thrive in this new environment.

Inside is the background you need to get started, the instruction and examples you need to move forward, and the expert advice you need to solve your toughest programming challenges. At a stage where others may struggle to get up to speed, you can work more efficiently while building more powerful, more usable, more robust applications. That’s the beauty of Mac OS X, and of the Mac OS X Developer’s Guide.

Incisive coverage that will help you:
* Understand Mac OS X, including how it works, its UNIX roots, and how best to develop for it.
* Develop applications using both the Cocoa and Carbon frameworks.
* Optimize your Carbon application with Carbon events and use direct dispatch in Carbon and Cocoa to make your applications more efficient.
* Write Mac OS X programs using C, C++, Java, and Objective-C (includes extensive example code).
* Build applications that take full advantage of all of Aqua’s features.
* Port existing applications to Mac OS X.
* Create new applications that run effectively on both Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X.
* Master critical development skills, including prototyping, managing menus, writing and using services, working with events, manipulating files, designing interfaces, and building reusable components.
* Get around in the latest versions of Project Builder and Interface Builder.

This book offers a simple to read, fast way to discover all that’s new in Mac OS X Leopard, and how to make the most of it, whether you are new to the Mac, or simply upgrading from a previous version of Mac OS X.

New additions to the operating system are showcased, including the changes to the Dock and Finder, and new features such as Stacks, Cover Flow, and Quick View introduced, before the book moves on to give a basic guide to using the Mac—creating folders, moving files, installing applications, and burning CDs, for example.

Communication and organization are covered with chapters on Mail and iChat, including information on how to get the most of the latest features such as creating to-do items, and reading RSS feeds in Mail, and sharing screens in iChat. There are chapters that cover Spaces and Time Machine, perhaps the most talked about feature in this release of Mac OS X.

iLife is fully dealt with, with discrete chapters on iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie and iDVD, and GarageBand, followed with a chapter on iWeb showing how to share your creations, and using Front Row to be entertained by them.

The final chapters of the book give an overview of some more advanced areas of using a Mac, namely how Mac OS X itself works, and also how to develop for the Mac. These chapters are intended only to give a glimpse as to the possibilities—the book is primarily aimed at regular users.

A number of appendices conclude the book, one providing a guide to those users who are switching from Windows, and another that contains a useful list of recommended Mac applications for a wide array of uses.

In the authors own words “This book isn’t a bible or tome about how to do anything and everything with Mac OS X, instead its goal is to introduce the major features of Mac OS X so you can be up and running quickly”.

The Mac has fully embraced OpenGL throughout its visual systems. In fact, Apple’s highly efficient, modern OpenGL implementation makes Mac OS X one of today’s best platforms for OpenGL development. OpenGL® Programming on Mac OS® X is the first comprehensive resource for every graphics programmer who wants to create, port, or optimize OpenGL applications for this high-volume platform.
Leading OpenGL experts Robert Kuehne and J. D. Sullivan thoroughly explain the Mac’s diverse OpenGL APIs, both old and new. They illuminate crucial OpenGL setup, configuration, and performance issues that are unique to the Mac platform. Next, they offer practical, start-to-finish guidance for integrating key Mac-native APIs with OpenGL, and leveraging the full power of the Mac platform in your graphics applications.

Coverage includes

* A thorough review of Mac hardware and software architectures and their performance implications
* In-depth, expert guidance for accessing OpenGL from each of the Mac’s core APIs: CGL, AGL, and Cocoa
* Interoperating with other Mac APIs: incorporating video with QuickTime, performing image effects with Core Image, and processing CoreVideo data
* Analyzing Mac OpenGL application performance, resolving bottlenecks, and leveraging optimizations only available on the Mac
* Detecting, integrating, and using OpenGL extensions
* An accompanying Web site (www.macopenglbook.com) contains the book’s example code, plus additional OpenGL-related resources.

OpenGL® Programming on Mac OS® X will be valuable to Mac programmers seeking to leverage OpenGL’s power, OpenGL developers porting their applications to the Mac platform, and cross-platform graphics developers who want to take advantage of the Mac platform’s uniquely intuitive style and efficiency.
