Find Your Core Values: Core Mac OS X Bootcamp Returns to the Big Nerd Ranch June 13-17, 2005
All-inclusive, 5-day training course on the underpinnings of Mac OS X. Taught by Mark Dalrymple, author of "Core Mac OS X and Unix Programming."
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) April 11, 2005 -- Find your Core Values: Core Mac OS X
Bootcamp June 13-17, 2005. Afficionados of the Big Nerd Ranch way will celebrate
the latest offering of Core Bootcamp for Mac OS X. The bootcamp offers a richer
and more intensive study of Unix programming by examining the underpinnings of
the OS X operating system. In five short days, students will review Daemons,
Multiprocessing and Multithreading, Rendezvous, FileManager, Performance tools
like sampling and CHUD, and networking with Berkley sockets, TCP/IP and UDP. Its
section on the debugger is one of the highlights of class, allowing students to
fully utilize the debugger in their application development
efforts.
Instructor Mark Dalrymple said, "Core Bootcamp delves into the
nuts and bolts behind Mac OS X and Unix. Many Unix-based classes will give an
overview, but this is an opportunity for students to really understand the
conceptual framework through which applications are developed and function on a
network. It doesn't get much better than this."
The course textbook, a
joint project between Mark Dalrymple and Aaron Hillegass, is Core Mac OS X and
Unix Programming. This book has been hailed by critics as one of the fundamental
texts available on advanced Mac OS X programming. The course follows the basic
outline provided by the book, providing an overview of key elements of
programming in this environment, while also addressing potential snafus that
might arise during development.
Mark Dalrymple has been a Mac programmer
since 1985 and a Unix programmer since 1990. As a Mac developer, Mark
contributed to the AOL 3.0 client and served as chief architect of an internal
publishing tool for Mac AOL. As a Unix developer, he contributed code and
developer documentation to the Galaxy cross-platform toolkit. Currently, Mark
co-locates and manages a Linux server and is the author of the BOLTS technical
columns at MacEdition.
