Ive never met, or even spoken to, Kirill Voronin; he lives in Moscow. But he submitted so many corrections to the previous editions Errata page online that I wound up hiring him to be the tech editor for this bookand he knocked it out of the park.

I also wish I could send out an I Made the Book Better! T-shirt to every reader who ever took the time to write with corrections, suggestions, tips, and tricks. And thanks, as always, to David Rogelberg for believing in the idea.

Above all, this book owes its existence to the patience and affection of Nicki, Kelly, Tia, and Jeffrey. They make these booksand everything elsepossible.

Introduction

OS X is an impressive technical achievement; many experts call it the best personal-computer operating system on earth. But beware its name.

The X is meant to be a Roman numeral, pronounced ten. Dont say, oh ess ex. Youll get funny looks.

In any case, OS X El Capitan is the 11th major version of Apples Unix-based operating system. Its got very little in common with the original Mac operating system, the one that saw Apple through the 1980s and 1990s. Apple dumped that in 2001, when CEO Steve Jobs decided it was time for a change. Apple had spent too many years piling new features onto a software foundation originally poured in 1984. Programmers and customers complained of the spaghetti code the Mac OS had become.

So underneath OS Xs classy, translucent desktop is Unix, the industrial-strength, rock-solid OS that drives many a website and university. Its not new by any means; in fact, its decades old and has been polished by generations of programmers.

Note

Apple no longer refers to its computer operating system as Mac OS X. Now its just OS X, without the Mac. Why? Apple says its to match up better with iOS, its operating system for the iPhone and iPad.

Whats New in El Capitan

You know how Apple redesigns the iPhone in every even-numbered yearand then comes out with a slightly tweaked s version in odd-numbered years? (iPhone 4s, 5s, 6s)?

Well, it does the same thing with the Macs operating system. In 2014, Apple released a major redesign called OS X Yosemite. In 2015, its a slightly tweaked version called El Capitan. Maybe a better name would have been Yosemite S.

Why is it called El Capitan? Because El Capitan is a rock formation within Yosemite National Park. That naming scheme matches up with past annual successions of OS X versions: Lion and then Mountain Lion, Leopard and then Snow Leopard, and so on.
