Book Description

The Mac has fully embraced OpenGL throughout its visual systems. In fact, Apple’s highly efficient, modern OpenGL implementation makes Mac OS X one of today’s best platforms for OpenGL development. OpenGL® Programming on Mac OS® X is the first comprehensive resource for every graphics programmer who wants to create, port, or optimize OpenGL applications for this high-volume platform.
Leading OpenGL experts Robert Kuehne and J. D. Sullivan thoroughly explain the Mac’s diverse OpenGL APIs, both old and new. They illuminate crucial OpenGL setup, configuration, and performance issues that are unique to the Mac platform. Next, they offer practical, start-to-finish guidance for integrating key Mac-native APIs with OpenGL, and leveraging the full power of the Mac platform in your graphics applications.

Coverage includes

* A thorough review of Mac hardware and software architectures and their performance implications
* In-depth, expert guidance for accessing OpenGL from each of the Mac’s core APIs: CGL, AGL, and Cocoa
* Interoperating with other Mac APIs: incorporating video with QuickTime, performing image effects with Core Image, and processing CoreVideo data
* Analyzing Mac OpenGL application performance, resolving bottlenecks, and leveraging optimizations only available on the Mac
* Detecting, integrating, and using OpenGL extensions
* An accompanying Web site (www.macopenglbook.com) contains the book’s example code, plus additional OpenGL-related resources.

OpenGL® Programming on Mac OS® X will be valuable to Mac programmers seeking to leverage OpenGL’s power, OpenGL developers porting their applications to the Mac platform, and cross-platform graphics developers who want to take advantage of the Mac platform’s uniquely intuitive style and efficiency.

Book Description

This book offers a simple to read, fast way to discover all that’s new in Mac OS X Leopard, and how to make the most of it, whether you are new to the Mac, or simply upgrading from a previous version of Mac OS X.

New additions to the operating system are showcased, including the changes to the Dock and Finder, and new features such as Stacks, Cover Flow, and Quick View introduced, before the book moves on to give a basic guide to using the Mac—creating folders, moving files, installing applications, and burning CDs, for example.

Communication and organization are covered with chapters on Mail and iChat, including information on how to get the most of the latest features such as creating to-do items, and reading RSS feeds in Mail, and sharing screens in iChat. There are chapters that cover Spaces and Time Machine, perhaps the most talked about feature in this release of Mac OS X.

iLife is fully dealt with, with discrete chapters on iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie and iDVD, and GarageBand, followed with a chapter on iWeb showing how to share your creations, and using Front Row to be entertained by them.

The final chapters of the book give an overview of some more advanced areas of using a Mac, namely how Mac OS X itself works, and also how to develop for the Mac. These chapters are intended only to give a glimpse as to the possibilities—the book is primarily aimed at regular users.

A number of appendices conclude the book, one providing a guide to those users who are switching from Windows, and another that contains a useful list of recommended Mac applications for a wide array of uses.

In the authors own words “This book isn’t a bible or tome about how to do anything and everything with Mac OS X, instead its goal is to introduce the major features of Mac OS X so you can be up and running quickly”.

A classic O’Reilly title since 1993, sendmail now covers Versions 8.10
through 8.14 of this email routing program, including dozens of new
features, options, and macros. This edition also takes a more
nuts-and-bolts approach than its predecessors. It includes both an
administration handbook and a reference guide that provide you with
clear options for installing, configuring and managing sendmail’s latest
versions and companion programs. The sendmail program has withstood the
test of time because of its ability to solve the mail-routing needs of
all sites large or small, complex or simple. But it’s also difficult to
configure and even more difficult to understand. That’s why this book
has proven valuable since the dawn of email. With it, you will be able
to configure the program to meet any need, so that you never again have
to call in a sendmail guru to bail you out. sendmail includes the
following sections:

- Some Basics is especially useful for people new to the program. It
covers the basic concepts underlying mail delivery and the roles
sendmail plays in that delivery
- Administration covers all aspects of handling sendmail, from
downloading and installing new releases to managing mailing lists and
aliases
- Configuration Reference contains a heavily cross-referenced guide
for configuring and tuning sendmail. Every arcane detail of sendmail is
listed alphabetically
- Appendices contain more detail about sendmail than you may ever need
This edition also includes new material on SSL and AUTH and a new
chapter on Mitlers. If you’re interested in what has changed since the
last edition, one appendix categorizes the many improvements of
sendmail’s intervening versions by chapter, complete with references to
the appropriate sections and page numbers in the book. With sendmail,
system administrators, programmers, network engineers, and even
inexperienced users will be able to match this challenging but necessary
utility to the needs of their network.

Summary:
Handling IPv6 for the first time is a challenging task even for the experienced system administrator. New concepts and mechanisms make it necessary to rethink well-established methods of the IPv4 protocol.
This book is a practical guide to IPv6 addressing Unix and network administrators with experience in TCP/IP(v4) but not necessarily any IPv6 knowledge. It focuses on reliable and efficient operation of IPv6 implementations available today rather than on protocol specifications. Consequently, it covers the essential concepts - using instructive and thoroughly tested examples - on how to configure, to administrate, and to debug IPv6 setups. These foundations are complemented by discussions of best practices and strategic considerations aimed at overall efficiency, reliability, maintainability, and interoperation.

The examples in this book cover all relevant aspects concerning Debian GNU/Linux, FreeBSD, and Solaris. Examples about other Unix derivatives are available online at www.benedikt-stockebrand.de.

One of the great benefits of Unix is the vast array of free and inexpensive software tools that are available for the platform. Programming with GNU Software provides an overview of how C and C++ programmers can use some of these tools: the source-code editor Emacs, the gcc compiler, gdb debugger, gprof profiler, and the RCS version-control system. The book offers a quick-paced tutorial that, unlike some introductions to Unix tools, is particularly focused on the needs of C programmers
