This book's description makes no mention of whether it covers OS X 10.4 (Tiger). Considering it came out days after Tiger (and of course Tiger has been available to authors and developers for months: I've had it since early betas) this is odd: everyone buying OS X books now will want them to be up-to-date.
If it doesn't cover Tiger, why did they wait until after Tiger's release to release this book? (No NDA would be broken if it covers only up to Panther!)
And if it *does* cover Tiger, why don't they mention it?
I'm guessing Tiger didn't change OS X Server so dramatically as to make a book like this useless if it doesn't touch on Tiger, but there must be something in Tiger relevant to the subject of the book. O'Reilly's reputation is to release their books when they're good and ready, and not to rush them, so why not delay this a month or so and update it, if the reason for waiting until May was that it was just getting finished?
There's no logical inference we can make, so please tell us how Tiger fits into this! |
