I’d like to get into some mac os x systems programming and wondered, although mac os x is a Mach and bsd hybrid, would a bsd programming book suffice since I can’t seem to find any books on mac os x systems level coding (or mac os x architecture)?
Any pointers would be much appreciated.
Thanks

You’ll want to pick up a copy of Amit Singh’s excellent Mac OS X Internals: A Systems Approach.
Beyond that, books on BSD can be helpful, yes, though it depends on what level of system programming you’re interested in. If you’re mainly going to be working with the kernel, it won’t be as useful.
