Title: Mac OS X 10.2: Visual QuickStart Guide by Maria Langer ISBN: 0-321-15801-6 Publisher: Peachpit Press Pub. Date: 17 September, 2002 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $21.99 |
Average Customer Rating: 2.8 (5 reviews)

Summary: Useless!
Comment: Contrary to her usual standards, normally very high, Maria Langer gave us a practically useless book this time. It doesn't even mention (forget about covering them in detail) all of the official features of 10.2. The whole book is a great disappointment. It is so superficial, it barely takes you through the minimum basic information. For instance, it doesn't even mention the Location settings, despite the fact that, being such a fundamental feature, it is one of the few still to appear in the apple menu. In a chapter called "Advanced Finder Techniques" such 'advanced' features are described as "Making an alias", "Use the file info window", or "Use spring-loaded folders". Sorry, but I can't find a single reason why this book should be purchased. As others mentioned, if you need a really good book about Mac OS X 10.2, buy David Pogue's The Missing Manual (Second Edition), which is packed with really useful information, and in depth coverage of every known and unknown feature of OS 10.2. By the way, Pogue's book is 714 pages packed with useful info and costs USD 29.95. Langer's useless book is only 354 pages, at USD 21.99.

Summary: Cursory info, very basic
Comment: Very basic stuff, not very informative, doesn't even cover Applescripts. Clear instructions and all, but not much else. For all the shortcuts and detailed background information, instead get David Pogue's well-written Mac OS X: The Missing Manual, Second Edition.

Summary: Glossy Overview
Comment: I found this to be a glossed overview of the OS. I needed a book that would walk me through the new rendevous connectivity....specifically, the windows SMB connectivity...not here...
This book is really geared towards the novice user, with really basic stuff.
