Book Description
Apple's Mac OS X operating system marries the power of Unix with the elegance of the Macintosh user interface. By harnessing the advanced features of Unix at its core, Mac OS X arguably becomes the most powerful consumer operating system available today. With its Aqua user interface implementation, Mac OS X also provides a unique and approachable experience for the user. Mac OS X also includes a complete suite of free development tools from Apple and third parties that allow programmers to create applications in Objective-C, C++, Java, Perl, PHP, and other languages. Mac OS X Advanced Development Techniques provides intermediate to advanced software developers with a collection of useful programming projects and techniques. Each project chapter contains complete source code and detailed explanations to help give developers an edge. Examples include applications, Coca and Carbon plug-ins, frameworks, system services, preference panes, status items, threads, XML-RPC, SOAP and more. No matter what type of software a developer may be tasked to create, Mac OS X Advanced Development Techniques helps get it done. Book jacket.

Book Description
Apple’s Core Animation framework enables Mac OS X, iPhone, and iPod touch developers to create richer, more visual applications–more easily than ever and with far less code. Now, there’s a comprehensive, example-rich, full-color reference to Core Animation for experienced OS X and iPhone developers who want to make the most of this powerful framework. Marcus Zarra and Matt Long reveal exactly what Core Animation can and can’t do, how to use it most effectively–and how to avoid misusing it. Building on your existing knowledge of Objective-C, Cocoa, and Xcode, they present expert techniques, insights, and downloadable code for all aspects of Core Animation programming, from keyframing to movie playback. Zarra and Long thoroughly review similarities and differences between Core Animation on the Mac and iPhone, helping you write code that can easily move between platforms. They also present a full chapter of innovative techniques and proven “rules of thumb” for optimizing Core Animation’s real-world performance. Coverage includes: Taking full advantage of Core Animation’s lightweight layers and views Using keyframes to gain complete control over your animations Creating startling effects with Core Animation transforms Leveraging Core Image’s powerful filtering capabilities from within Core Animation Playing QuickTime movies using Core Animation’s QTMovieLayer Using the OpenGL layer to achieve greater control over movie playback Integrating advanced Quartz Composer visualizations into your user interfaces How to use helper layers to draw gradients, composite shapes, and replicate sublayers Adding mouse and keyboard user interaction points, and much more...

Book Description
Written by members of the development team at Apple, Programming with Quartz is the first book to describe the sophisticated graphics system of Mac OS X. By using the methods described in this book, developers will be able to fully exploit the state-of-the-art graphics capabilities of Mac OS X in their applications, whether for Cocoa or Carbon development. This book also serves as an introduction to 2D graphics concepts, including how images are drawn and how color is rendered. It includes guidance for working with PDF documents, drawing bitmap graphics, using Quartz built-in color management, and drawing text. Programming with Quartz is a rich resource for new and experienced Mac OS X developers, Cocoa and Carbon programmers, UNIX developers who are migrating to Mac OS X, and anyone interested in powerful 2D graphics systems. - This is the definitive guide to the revolutionary graphics system of Mac OS X that uses the Portable Document Format (PDF) as the basis of its imaging model - It contains the latest on programming with Quartz for Mac OS X version 10.4 - Carefully crafted and extensive code examples show how to accomplish most of the drawing tasks possible with Quartz

Book Description
A Step-by-Step Guide to the Xcode Mac OS Development Environment Every copy of Mac OS X comes with Xcode, the powerful development suite that Apple uses to build applications ranging from Safari to iTunes. But because Xcode is complex and subtle, even experienced Mac programmers rarely take full advantage of it. Now, Mac developer Fritz Anderson has written the definitive introduction and guide to using Xcode to build applications with any Macintosh technology or language. Anderson helps you master Xcode's powerful text editor, industry-standard gcc compiler, graphical interactive debugger, mature UI layout and object linkage editor, and exceptional optimization tools. One step at a time, you'll develop a command-line utility, then use Xcode tools to evolve it into a full-fledged Cocoa application. Anderson provides expert guidance on development frameworks, source code management, Core Data modeling, localization, and much more. Coverage includesUnderstanding Xcode workflow and the Mac OS X application lifecyclePorting established legacy projects into XcodeUsing the Model-View-Controller design pattern to build robust graphical applicationsBuilding static libraries and working with Xcode's build systemMaking the most of bundles and package directoriesCreating applications compatible with older versions of Mac OS X Creating universal binaries to run on both Intel and PowerPC MacintoshesAdding Spotlight searchability to data filesLeveraging Xcode's built-in support for unit testingUsing Xcode on makefile-based UNIX development projects "Step Into Xcode"'s breadth, depth, and practical focus make it indispensable to every Mac developer: current Xcode users upgrading to Xcode 2.1, experienced Mac programmers migrating from CodeWarrior, UNIX/Linux programmers moving to Mac OS X, and even novices writing their first programs or scripts.
