If you’re seeking a book that talks about how to develop Cocoa programs or otherwise build Mac software applications, this isn’t your book (though it’s quite helpful for developers to have a good grasp of Mac OS X Unix essentials). If you’re a complete beginner and are occasionally stymied by where the second mouse button went, this might be a better book to put on the shelf until you’re more comfortable with your computing environment. Finally, if you live and breathe Unix every day and can make your Linux box do backflips, this book will be too basic for you (though, since we cover many of the Mac OS X Unix nuances, you’ll still glean information from reading it). We don’t cover either Unix system administration or Mac system administration from the command line.
