Mac OS X for Unix Geeks

Brian Jepson maintains a keen focus on the sparks that fly where two cutting edges meet. He has published print and online articles that examine the intersection of Open Source and Windows (particularly .NET). Mac OS X is one such intersection, combining a solid Unix core with the pioneering Apple user interface. Brian's prior experience developing applications in Unix and Linux give him an appreciation of the target audience's point of view. His thorough explorations of NeXTSTEP and Mac OS X -- conducted over the last few years -- kept him oriented as he developed this book. Ernest E. Rothman is an Associate Professor of Mathematics at Salve Regina University (SRU) where he is also Chair of the Mathematical Sciences Department as well as Manager of the Computational Science Program. Before SRU, Ernie held the position of Research Associate at the Cornell Theory Center at Cornell University. Ernie holds a PhD degree in Applied Mathematics from Brown University. His academic interests are primarily in Scientific Computing, and Computational Science Education. More details can be found at his website http://homepage.mac.com/samchops/ROTHMAN/rothman.html.
