Widely esteemed Mac authority David Pogue weighs in on the latest offering from Cupertino ... more
withMac OS X: The Missing Manual. It's a fact-packed romp through the operating system and the extras that come with it, made resoundingly more readable by the depth of Pogue's knowledge, his familiarity with Mac history, and his eagerness to engage novices as members of the Mac user community. Unlike most books about Mac OS X, this one explores its Unix-like underpinnings (the Apple implementation is called Darwin) pretty thoroughly. However, on the logic that if you wanted to use Unix, you would, Pogue emphasises the traditional, graphical Mac interface over the Terminal window.Pogue, who's written about Macs for years writes about Macs at the user level with clarity. He's also quite good at dealing with the numerous options and variations that apply to Mac procedures, and makes very good use of sidebars for clarifying details. In a section on printing, for example, Pogue explains why there's no longer an option to turn off background printing (true multitasking has rendered the option obsolete). There's also good coverage of the online iTools, tailored to people unfamiliar with integrating remote resources into their personal computing environments.--David WallTopics covered: Apple Mac OS X for people who will use the operating system, either on a standalone computer with Internet access or on a computer that is part of a home or organisational network. Running applications (in Classic mode as well as in native Mac OS X mode), printing, networking, multimedia, security (including Keychain), and utilities are all covered.

Advantages: Broad coverage, lots of useful tricks, great writing style Disadvantages: Nothing
With Windows Vista now out in the wild, anyone who has just bought a new PC or has migrated over from Windows XP will be wondering what hit them. The first tranche of Vista books are now upon us, some aimed at the more technical end of the spectrum, others firmly targetted at people who just want to know how to use it. Windows Vista The MissingManual could be just what they're looking for.
Windows Vista The MissingManual comes from the rapidly growing stable of 'MissingManual' books aimed at end users who have either found the online help rather lacking or in the rare case an actual printed manual was supplied with their software, that it skimps on the details.
Unlike many books which focus on the new features of Vista, this one is more of a general guide to Windows, it just happens to be Vista in this instance. Accordingly ...
Advantages: All you need to know to get going in this field Disadvantages: More on photography tips would be nice!
Are you struggling with the change from film to digital photography? Unsure about printing, backing up or memory cards? This newish title from O'Reilly could be just what you're looking for. Unlike many books, it doesn't just cover taking pictures but instead covers a whole range of issues and options that you may encounter with digital photography. It is however rather Windows-centric.
As is common with the series, Digital Photography The MissingManual has an easy going style full of subtle humour and plenty of anecdotes and tips. It provides a thorough grounding in the subject and despite being reasonably thick, isn't at all intimidating and given the subject matter, it is good to see the book is in full colour throughout.
It's safe to say the rate at which digital has taken over has caught many people off guard, not least ...
Advantages: Behind the scenes information, fills in some badly needed gaps Disadvantages: None
'Reilly and specifically Jessica Mantaro have now come to the rescue with another of O'Reilly's MissingManual series. These books are intended, as the name suggests, to be everything an application's bundled manual (ha!) wasn't.
This latest title is divided in to five main sections. These cover the basics, improving your web site, building and managing, databases and Microsoft Office integration. An appendix covers each and every menu option.
One of the real strengths of this book is the amount of timely and real world advice. For instance, it covers how to create frames then points out just what a bad idea they are and why. It is also honest about some of the nastier areas of FrontPage and what to do to avoid problems.
Happily, CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) and layers are promoted strongly although it does also show how to use tables for layout ...
