Mac OS X System Architecture



From here.

Mac OS X is a uniquely powerful development platform, supporting multiple development technologies including UNIX, Java, the proprietary Cocoa and Carbon runtime environments, and a host of open source, web, scripting, database, and development technologies. Built around the integrated stack of graphics and media technologies including Core Image, Core Video, Core Audio and QuickTime, Mac OS X provides a solid foundation for developers to create great applications. Mac OS X Tiger also offers powerful user technologies like Spotlight and Dashboard that can be exploited by developers in their applications.

For more information on exploring the technologies in Mac OS X, see the Mac OS X Getting Started page.
