Books for Mac Os X and Bioinformatics


The computers produced by Apple based on the powerful PowerPC Risc chips (i.e. Power Mac G4, G5, Powerbook, iBook, iMac, eMac) are popular in science and academics. Especially the underlying Unix core of the Mac Os X operating system has renewed interest into Apple computers. In fact, a cluster of 1100 G5 computers at Virginia Tech ranked 3rd in the list of supercomputers in the world in Nov. 2003. In this section, books have been selected that are essential or useful for operating the Mac Os X, for learning more about about its Unix underpinnings, for learning to program in Applescript, C, C++, OpenGL, and the QT cross-platform GUI by Trolltech. In addition, books on statistics and bioinformatics, as well as how to program in Perl for bioinformatics are listed here.
