Dear Reader,
We've just posted a good technical article titled, "Integrating Tomcat with Apache Via the mod_jk Module." A few years ago this would have been a "Linux only" piece, but this excellent tutorial by Chad Thompson was written for Mac OS X, and is featured on our Mac DevCenter.
Things have changed, haven't they? True, Linux continues to dominate on the server side of the equation (and deserves to because it has proven itself admirably). But on the desktop, Mac OS X is scratching an itch for those who've been waiting for a real client-side Unix that also supports lots of popular applications.
We've had a great time writing about the open source things you can do with Mac OS X, both in our books, and on our Web sites. But now we're taking matters to the next level and hosting a Mac OS X conference that's geared toward those who have a Unix background. This gathering will be in Santa Clara, CA, starting on Sept. 30.
http://conferences.oreillynet.com/macosx2002/ (Early bird registration is still open for great savings!)
If you've been curious about what it would take to apply your existing Unix skills to mastering Mac OS X, then this is the crash course you've been waiting for. After just a few days of sessions, tutorials, keynotes, and just hanging with the experts, you'll be hacking like a seasoned veteran in this BSD-powered operating system.
