Customer Reviews & Comments
Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger Peahcpit learning series: This book is part of the Peachpit learning series and has seventeen lessons that walk you through all of the installation options, how to configure your MAC, personalizing your MAC environment, sharing your MAC files, installing peripherals and navigating through the MAC environment. It also covers some of the new features like Spotlight used for finding anything based on your search criteria, Dashboard used to house application widgets which are shortcuts main features of applications like iTunes, iSync, iChat calculator and weather in your area application with out having to launch the application. The book also covers .Mac, Safari RSS for internet feeds and Automator lessons (used to automate repetitive processes). The book does a good job in it's use of screenshots in each lesson so that you can have a visual reference of where you should be if you are working through the lessons. This book is by no means a technical manual, it is meant to show you the user interfaces of OS X and different applications that come with OS X. I would consider myself an intermediate MAC user and I have used this book couple times to look at the Dashboard and Automator lessons. For the beginner user this book is probably 5 stars, for the intermediate user it is probably 3 stars, for the advanced user it is probably a 2 star book but clearly this book is geared to (and it's stated audience is) the beginner to intermediate user so I give it 4 stars.
