First of all, we assume that you have used a computer in that past: that you know how to use a mouse and you know the proper place to stick a DVD to get it to play in your computer. We won't be showing you these things. (We will, however, demonstrate to our Mac converts how to “right click” on a trackpad with only one button!).
Second, we assume you know what you want to do with your computer. We won't waste your time showing you specifically, step–by–step how to order a pizza from Pizza Galaxy in Milwaukee, Wisconsin with Safari (though, when you're done with this book we think you'll be able to do this just fine… if such a place exists, anyway).
Finally, we assume that you are a reasonably intelligent person who realizes the value of such phrases as “Give a man a fish; you have fed him for today. Teach a man to fish; and you have fed him for a lifetime” and can imagine how that might apply to a computer book.
If this sounds like you, then we think you'll find this book rewarding.
Inside you will find everything you need to get up to speed with Mac OS X Leopard including:
- Using the standard included Leopard applications including Mail, Safari, Preview, and more
- Taking advantage of the Darwin subsystem in Leopard
- Learning all the ins and outs of the Finder and Leopards improved interface
- Administering your computer for yourself and for others
- Working with other computers and operating systems from you Mac
- Configuring the network to take full advantageof the powerful networking capabilities in Leopard
- Working with add on devices via USB,Firewire, and Bluetooth
- Effectively implementing data backup, recovery and security
- Getting started with OS X development in Leopard
