Learn Mac OS X Snow Leopard by Mike Lee
Whether you re new to the Mac or just new to Snow Leopard, we wrote this book for you. We didn t say new to computers. That s what makes this book unique. Maybe you re an infrequent upgrader or a programmer from another platform who bought a Mac to write so- ware for the iPhone. We talk to you, without talking down to you. We don t explain to you what a mouse is, but we do tell how using a mouse on a Mac is different from using a mouse on Windows. We give detailed summaries of every part of Mac OS X, from the Finder to Terminal. We give you a tour of the Applications folder, with chapters dedicated to Snow Leopard applications and iLife, Apple s digital lifestyle suite. We get you connected, with chapters on Safari, iChat, and MobileMe, as well as on the productivity trio of Mail, Address Book, and iCal. We don t stop at the consumer stuff. We point out the Pro versions and link to the do- mentation. We provide generous screenshots and actual, usable sample code. We talk about the UNIX layer that lives beneath Aqua s candy shell. We show you how to master your Mac with shell scripts, AppleScripts, and Automator. We show you how to install the Xcode developer tools. We take you on a tour of the Cocoa frameworks and get up close and personal with Objective-C, the native programming language of both Mac OS X and iPhone OS.
