The most popular and most complete desktop reference book on Mac OS X now covers
Tiger!
Apple's Mac OS X operating system continues to capture the attention of consumers
and programmers alike with its ability to run older Mac programs, classic Unix
applications, and innovative open source software. And the latest and greatest
version, Mac OS X 10.4--otherwise known as "Tiger"--is more powerful and versatile
(not to mention easier to use, faster, and better looking) than ever before.
With unparalleled, up-to-the-minute detail on Tiger, Mac OS X Tiger in a
Nutshell is loaded with new and updated material on practically every page.
Sure, Mac OS X Tiger in a Nutshell covers all the essentials and most-talked-about
new features of Tiger, including big-ticket items such as Spotlight for effortless
searching, iChat AV for video conferencing, and Dashboard for one-click access
to a calculator, weather reports, stock prices, flight times, and more. But
this fully updated edition also covers the hundreds of nips and tucks Tiger
made to its underlying technologies and existing applications, including improvements
to graphics and the Unix-based core and an easy way to automate time-consuming,
repetitive manual or batch tasks.
Mac OS X Tiger in a Nutshell offers a wealth of detail about the new
user-interface elements, system and network administration, and scripting and
development. It covers enhancements to the Finder, Safari RSS, Mail 2, and System
Preferences. This indispensable guide also includes the most complete Unix®
command reference found in print--each command and option has been painstakingly
tested and checked against Tiger. Even the manpages that ship with the system
can't compete in accuracy!
For longtime Mac loyalists as well as recent converts, for consumers, developers
and programmers, this fully updated edition provides the perfect overview of
Mac OS X and all the nitty-gritty hints and how-tos you need to make it your
all-purpose, must-have Tiger guide.
