Apple Macintosh computers are hardware platforms which programmers have been keen to use. Mac OS X is Apple's new UNIX based operating system. They have included in the operating system a fully functioning Java 2 platform. Java will be used: to develop cross platform Java applications; as a server-side development language to build web applications; and to exploit the Cocoa Programming interface to create native Mac OS X applications.
-- Since the launch of Mac OS X with the cross platform features of Java, it has changed developers' concepts of the Macintosh as a serious contender for a development environment, that will mean a demand for information about programming within the environment
-- There are other books on Mac OS X, but none that cover using Java with it, or on how to use it with the Cocoa Programming Interface
-- This book will set the scene for future Wrox titles that will drill deeper into issues programmers want answers to on the Mac platform
