Book Reviews of Mac OS X Internals: A Systems Approach
Book Review: Very very detailed ....
Summary: 4 Stars
Every single aspect of Mac hardware and a large extent system software is covered in depth - this really is a book for die-hard mac developers. It's truly not a book for a novice or even intermediate level user.
IMHO you really do need a firm understanding of hardware architecture to get the most from this book.
In places this book reads like an academic course book, and can be too 'dry'.
Intel is covered, but not in great depth. The focus is really on G4 and G5 class.
I'm left wondering who the intended audience really is for this book.
So, it gets 5 stars for being the definitive Mac hardware reference, and 3 stars for being far too 'academic' in tone.
