If you're a developer, you should be use to the command line
operations. This would be true for Windows systems as well as for Unix
and Macs.

The Subversion book from O'Reilly is the "free" book and is not up to
date. However, the Unix book for Mac OS X Panther is fairly up to date
and is a good intro to Unix on your Mac. If you're doing development,
you really need to be familiar with the command line and learning
about VI/VIM is a good thing to know. (Or EMACS if you're so inclined.
The Mac contains both of these tools). VI/VIM and EMACS are program
editors that work directly from a terminal window.
