While this book does not assume a background on the Mac, it assumes computer experience and is written to keep the reader on the edge of their seat. Learning as much as you can as fast as you can is the goal of the book. Emphasis is given to topics that are not treated well in online forums; that need deep but clear explanations. So topics like scripting, web creation, networking and programming are tackled aggressively.

Java Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) Windows development operating system
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)
