    New OS X books from O’Reilly

    Learning Unix for Mac OS X
    by Dave Taylor & Jerry Peek
    http://oreilly.com/catalog/lunixmacosx/
    “Learning Unix for Mac OS X” is a concise introduction to Unix on Mac
    OS X for Macintosh users who want to tap the power of Unix. The book
    shows how to use the Terminal application, navigate the command line,
    and explore many useful, time-tested Unix applications.

    Building Cocoa Applications: A Step-by-Step Guide
    by Simson Garfinkel & Michael K. Mahoney
    http://oreilly.com/catalog/buildcocoa/
    “Building Cocoa Applications” takes a step-by-step approach to teaching
    developers how to build real graphics applications using Cocoa. The
    book starts by showing the basics of an application in one chapter and
    then layering additional functionality onto that application in
    subsequent chapters. By the end of the book, readers who have built
    applications as they have read will have a solid understanding of what
    it really means to develop complete and incrementally more complex
    Cocoa applications.
