O'Reilly Network Launches macdevcenter.com, New Site for Mac OS X Developers
San Jose, CA--O'Reilly Network announced the launch of
macdevcenter.com, a new
web site for Mac OS X professionals, at the
Apple Worldwide Developers Conference in San Jose, CA today. The heart
of macdevcenter.com is a rich collection of tutorials on Mac OS X,
covering the OS and the key technologies that work with its BSD Unix
core. Topics include the Terminal application, AppleScript, QuickTime,
Cocoa, Java, Aqua, and Apache. The site also features news and regular
columns from Mac experts such as David Pogue, Chris Stone, Derrick
Story, Simson Garfinkel, Bruce Perry, Lee Ann Rucker, Daniel Steinberg,
Mike Beam, James Duncan Davidson, and Kevin Hemenway.
O'Reilly Network has been covering the development of Mac OS X (at
http://www.oreillynet.com/mac/) since Apple officially announced its
"21st century operating system" in January 2001. O'Reilly created the
new, standalone site (http://www.macdevcenter.com) to offer expanded
coverage of all things Mac OS X.
"As Mac OS X has reached critical mass, our readership has grown along
with it," said macdevcenter.com editor Derrick Story. "Developers, web
designers, and power users are all diving deep into Mac OS X. Apple
made it clear from the beginning that Mac OS X is its future, so the
Mac faithful have been exploring the new OS's Unix underpinnings via
the Terminal application and adjusting to a brand new operating system
and interface. Open source developers and Java programmers have been
converting to Mac OS X in droves, attracted by its gorgeous GUI and
Apple's great hardware."
The macdevcenter.com staff also produces a bi-weekly Mac OS X email
newsletter. To subscribe, go to

The company also announced the O'Reilly Mac OS X Conference, to be held
from September 30 to October 3, 2002, in Santa Clara, CA. O'Reilly is
accepting proposals for tutorials and sessions until June 14, 2002. For
