Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger: Peachpit Learning Series
Robin Williams; ISBN 0-321-33022-6; $29.99
* Project-based training book ideal for upgraders and new OS X users*
The Peachpit Learning Series makes its debut with this launch. This new project-based series brings together best-selling authors and hot topics, in a step-by-step format that allows users to learn just what they need to know at their own pace-whether it's working through lessons from start to finish, jumping directly to exercises about key features, or simply looking up what is needed at the moment. In this first Peachpit Learning Series title, veteran author Robin Williams uses her friendly teaching style to reveal what's new in Tiger, and how to get the most out of it, quickly. Through real-world projects and lessons, this book covers everything from upgrading to Tiger to customizing and troubleshooting.
