Atlanta, GA - May 10, 2004 - Bore into the Core: the Big Nerd Ranch announces Core Mac OS X and Unix Programming Bootcamp for July 2004 The Big Nerd Ranch announces the return of Core Bootcamp with instructor Mark Dalrymple, from July 19-23, 2004. The Core Mac OS X and Unix Programming Bootcamp delves deeply into the underpinnings of OS X. For anyone who understands the first nine chapters of "Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X," by Aaron Hillegass, Core Bootcamp is the logical next step toward advanced Cocoa programming mastery. "There are a lot of classes about Unix programming, but the Core Bootcamp takes a radical step: it takes a long hard look at the ideas that make desktop applications and networked servers work. It is truly a Unix programming course for the modern world. It also covers the ideas and APIs that are unique to Mac OS X," said Aaron Hillegass, founder of the Big Nerd Ranch. The course covers a range of topics specifically geared to the rigors of developing for the Mac OS X Unix foundation. Graduates of the bootcamp will master the compiler, linker, debugger and performance tools, write networked applications and daemons that are Rendezvous-aware, and utilize Distributed Objects. Students will also learn to create and utilize CVS repositories and implement multithreaded and multiprocessed programs - all within five days. The bootcamp is a full week of intensive instruction with a comprehensive range of material covered. The textbook for the class is "Core Mac OS X and Unix Programming," by instructors Mark Dalrymple and Aaron Hillegass. The book has been hailed by critics as a must-have for any professional developer on the Mac OS X platform, providing engaging and thorough writing with voluminous sample code for the reader to review along the way. Like Mr. Hillegass's book on Cocoa, the textbook explores many of the trickier aspects of programming in this environment and provides useful solutions for best handling challenges as they arise. 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.
