Description

An uncomplicated, easy to understand introduction and guide to successfully using Mac OS X for the first time. Covers the new version of OS X – code-named “Panther” – expected out in early fall of 2003. The authors have extensive Mac OS X experience and are experts at explaining technology to new users. This new edition covers enhancements and new features of Mac OS X Panther. With the release of version 10.2 of Mac OS X in th4e fall of 2002 (Jaguar), the new operating system was finally stable enough for mass distribution on all shipping Macintosh computers. Yet underneath the new colorful interface was a powerful, complicated operating system based on BSD Unix. And Mac users of all kinds needed help both in figuring out how to run OS X and in understand how OS X worked underneath the covers and how to get the most out of it. In late summer 2003 Apple is expected to release a new version of OS X – code-named “Panther” – that will add some performance and interface enhancements, and that will further extend the capabilities of the underlying Unix-based subsystem. The third edition of Sams Teach Yourself Mac OS X in 24 Hours helps new users to understand how the new OS (different from the traditional Mac OS, as well as Windows) functions, and how to use it successfully. The book also explores how to use the native OS X applications that ship with the product. John Ray currently serves as the Director of Engineering/IT Services at Blue Cosmos Design, Inc.
