Title: Fantastic intro to the Unix side of OS X
Product review: I couldn't believe how perfect this book was for me. It has a fairly rapid overview (if you can call 500 pages rapid) of OS X's Graphic User Interface which is especially useful for Mac users upgrading to OS X.Then they provide a fantastic and detailed 700 page guide to the Unix underpinnings of the OS controllable from the command line from the perspective of a mac user.The book is perfect for anyone unafraid of the command line and wanting to learn the Unix side of things, whose power and elegant engineering is matched only by the inscrutibility of its naming practices and syntax.Although the first part of the book is well done, I think the 1200+ page volume is overkill for those who never want to see a command line sully their user experience.
