David Pogue is a well known author of a whole series of computer and other technical books. His latest book “Mac OS X: The Missing Manual” was published about 2 months ago in assosiation with O’Reilly.The book is written with the mindset of a “manual” for MacOSX, as these days less and less software in general, are shipping with printed manuals. However, the tone of the writting is light and Pogue has some good taste humour and at the right doses. All in all, reading the book was very relaxing, interesting and not boring at all.

The book starts with explaining how to use the GUI in general, but you still end up learning some special characteristics or key combinations on MacOSX that are not well known to the most of the Mac users. I liked his lengthy explanation on what is the difference between Carbon and Cocoa and how you can distinguish if an application is built with either APIs. It is important to know about it, as some different GUI controls and features are existing into these applications created with either the toolkits.

The book continues explaining how to use the included applications and utilities, and even goes as far as introducing AppleScript. On Part 4 things are getting a bit more advanced where networking and more advanced graphics and multimedia-related topics are discussed. There is even an introduction to the Terminal and Bash.

It brings you a wide variety of file management tools, provides you with quick access to your favorite Mac utilities and documents, and so much more.

The book is a good overview of MacOSX. At places it is shallow, but at other places it is more in-depth. This book will appeal a lot for the people who just want to learn basic use of MacOSX, no matter if they come from MacOS 9 or Windows. However, if you are coming over from UNIX, this book will only help you on learning the GUI, as no real administration of Apache, mySQL, XFree or other advanced Unix-oriented software is discussed.

In general, if you are not the Ultimate Power User or a “hacker”, this book is for you. If you are, probably you will have already figure out everything included in the book by yourself…

You do know that Mac OS X is Unix, right? I love telling Macpeople this - so many of them still don't know.

I also love that Apple has gone in this direction. It'swonderful, because it opens up whole new worlds for Unix folk. Italso helps the Linux software market and vice versa: if you writesoftware for one, a port to the other should certainly be a loteasier than a port to Windows.

As I write this, I'm trying to win an OS X compatible Mac onE-Bay. My intent is to add Mac to my repertoire, and toward thatend I bought this book.

(I gave up on buying used - couldn't find what I wanted, so Ifinally broke down and ordered an ibook.)

The Missing Manual Mac Os X

I am of course not yet experienced enough to make a completejudgement of this book's value. I do have a little Mac experiencefrom the early 90's, but I'm more than weak there. So I reallyappreciated that the author expects that some of his audience willhave no Mac background at all. Throughout the book, it's evidentthat he has that in mind, and there is even a whole appendixdevoted to people switching from Windows. Well, that's not exactlymy thing either, but I still found it helpful.

Of course it is difficult for someone so intimately familiarwith Macs to avoid knowledge assumptions entirely. There are a fewplaces here and there that make reference to things you justwouldn't know about if you have never seen a Mac at all. Still, Isuspect that someone with even less Mac exposure than I have wouldnot get completely confused.

The Unix related chapters are accurate and reasonable. There'snot much of anything really geekish, but I really didn't expectthat from this sort of book.

In general, the book is written well, with a light hearted styleand enough humor to keep it from ever being dull. I suspect thatthis will be by my side constantly as I start exploring thiswonderful new world of Apple operating systems.
