Reviews

From the reviews: Chapters illustrate the basic features of Leopard using screen shots and table listings of commands . I would recommend this book as a good starting point for someone who wants to find out about the development tools available in Leopard. (P. Spoerri, Computing Reviews, Vol. 50 (1), January, 2009)
