A good book on the innards of Mac OS X

Always been a mac person but since the switch over to OS X I do not have the grasp I use to have on the underlying info like OS 9.
Can anyone recommend a good book that describes in English what the /etc folder does, when to use the NetInfo Manager...
I dont need a book on these are the preferences or this is how you open this window and such....
Thanks

Ahh, two books
Mac OS X Tiger: The Missing Manual will give a deeper coverage of Mac OS X but what your asking also about is more Unix things.
check out these books
http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/lunixmacosx/
So somewhere between the two I think will cover your interest.

  • For a good book regarding the network security and management

    i am not a newbie to networking. i have done ccna successfully. now i want to do gain some knowledge regarding the security of the networks.
    i want to know which book i prefer?? or any other good advice..
    Regards

    You don't get books dealing with ASP and MySQL but you can get books that deals with PHP and MySQL.  For example I have used this book (click on it to go to Amazon):
    There are other books as well but this one gets you started quickly and then you can develop your skills buying something more advanced.
    Good luck.

  • Strongly recommend  a good book for the java web programmer

    book name: java for the web with servlets,jsp and EJB
    publisher : New Riders
    very suitable for beginners ~~~like me 0_O~~~~

    Hello guys,
    Glad to hear you guys pursuing certification. Upon finishing both books, I still felt like I needed to prepare in some other means. That was when I started taking practice exams online. Those helped a LOT! (I took around 10 exams) They really test you if you know the material... Here are a few links which might be of some help:

  • PO with FREE of charge position - goods receipt change the average price

    Hi Experts,
    in our SAP system we have a special situation concerning the PO with free of charge (FOC) items.
    We set the flag "Free" in the PO position for all FOC items. When we book the good receipt for these FOC items SAP creates no accounting document and the average price is changing.
    for example: 1 pce is on stock with the value 100; we receive 1 pce for FOC
    new average price: (100 + 0) / (1 + 1) = 50
    this is a big problem for us.
    for us - the goods receipt for the FOC articles must be with the actual average price (table MBEW) similar to a return goods booking in the SD Module - movement type 653 !
    this means for our example: 1 pce is on stock with the value 100; we receive 1 pce for FOC
    new average price: (100 + 100 (acutal average price)) / (1 + 1) = 100
    I read a lot of OSS notes and many entries in the forums and I think many other companies have the same problem.
    is there any solution possibility to do that in this way?
    thank you for your help
    Peter Lechner

    it is logical that the moving average price changes.  if you dont want that, then you either have to have an extra material master for your free of charge stock, or you need to implement split valuation and can then have batches that are not valuated.
    But if you have 10 on hand with a value of 20 $, then the moving average is 2$
    if you then get another 10 free of charge, then you have 20 on hand with total value of 20$, which just means 20$ div by 20 quantity = 1 $ MAP.
    if SAP would not change the MAP in that moment, then the goods receipt is valuated with the current MAP and the total value of your stock increases to 40. but this is then not a free of charge case.

  • Good books for JMF 2.1.1?

    Hi all,
    I am new to JMF and I am trying to learn the concepts. Can anyone suggest me any good books explaning the JMF concepts? I tried searching the web but could only find books based on JMF1.0, which I am made to understand is not preffered.
    Somebody please help me.
    Thanks,
    Binil

    There is a book that covers JMF 2.0 titiled
    Java How To program 4th Edition
    by Deitel & Deitel
    Published by Prentice Hall
    ISBN 0-13-034151-7
    I haven't read it, but I'm guessing its good from the Amazon.com user reviews. Note that this book covers many java topics which include JMF 2.0, so I'm note sure how much of JMF it covers.
    If you want my advice, try reading the programmer's guide and the sample programs on JMF solutions page on the JMF API webpage. These 2 resources are the best tools for learning JMF.
    Best of luck :)

  • I set up my new computer using the apple ID i always use, and then later migrated all my files from my old mac book to the same new one, but under a different user (same ID). how do i consolidate the two users on my new mac book?

    i set up my new computer using the apple ID i always use, and then later migrated all my files from my old mac book to the same new one, but under a different user (same apple ID). how do i consolidate the two users on my new mac book?

    Well if you use the Finder Go menu to Computer, a window opens up double click on your boot drive and then on Users folder, open the other user folder and open Public and drop your files into DropBox
    When you do this it will copy them and change the permissions and user assigned to it, so log into the other user and place them into your respective normal folders.
    Once you have all your files over and don't need the old user, use System Preferences > Accounts to delete it if you wish, however it's good two Admin accounts on the machine in case something bad happens in the other. Some people for security reasons on use a Standard account for most uses and a emergency Admin account.
    One can still do most Admin things in Standard user.

  • I bought battery charger for my mac book from the different store, and i want to verify that is genuine product or not?

    i brought battery charger for my mac book from the deferent store, and before i plug it to my mac book i want to verify that is genuine product. how do i get to know that?

    It should have an Apple part number at the bottom of the charger and an embossed Apple logo on the face of the adapter.
    Anyone can stamp a logo on the side, of course, so I would take a good luck at the part number and do an Internet search for the part number, making sure that it's genuine Apple.
    Good luck,

  • Made The Switch!  Any Good Books To Help A PC Vet?

    Anyone know of any good books to read up on to get used to the Mac? Ive been a pc guy forever and would like a "guide" to ease me into the Mac lifestyle.

    Yes I would recommend getting Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard: Peachpit Learning Series (Paperback)
    by Robin Williams. Amazon is currently selling it and I'm sure you can find it on e Bay too. The link to Amazon is here.
    Also the links that were provided are excellent and a great starting place.
    I bought her Leopard book a couple of years ago and found it invaluable when I was making the switch.

  • Which mac pc is good for iPad development in between mac mini or mac book pro

    which mac pc is good for iPad development in between mac mini or mac book pro so give me details which is much more better for ios development

    The best thing for iOS development is your imagination. Coming up with unique creative apps is what’s most important. I've had a mini since they first came out, and I think it's the best desktop around. However you may not want a desktop because you're more mobile when you work on apps. With the mini you can use a much bigger screen (I use a 80 inch) but the laptop has a slightly better processor (if you decide to pay extra for it). I'm learning app development also and a laptop would drive me crazy, but it's a personal choice, so you first need to decide where you are going to be while you're developing. If it’s at home or a office then the mini might be better. The mini and the macbook pro are both two incredible products. I don’t think you can make a wrong decision as far as which one handles app design better. They’re both great in that department.
