Book description

The Mac OS X Pocket Reference introduces Mac, Windows, and Unix users to the fundamental concepts of Mac OS X. The book starts out with a "Mac OS X Survival Guide," which shows Mac users what's changed from Mac OS 9, and also helps Windows and Unix converts get acclimated with their new OS. The Mac OS X Pocket Reference concludes with a 30+-page "Task and Setting" index, which answers questions that users might have when trying to configure their system.
Full Description

Apple's new operating system, Mac OS X, is reaching a critical mass. Its sleek Aqua interface, combined with a powerful BSD Unix core, bring usability and stability to a new level. As companies start to migrate to Mac OS X from earlier versions of the Mac OS and from other flavors of Unix, IT managers are looking for a quick reference guide to get users started quickly; this Pocket Reference is that guide. The Mac OS X Pocket Reference introduces Mac, Windows, and Unix users to the fundamental concepts of Mac OS X. The book will show you how to use the Finder and the Dock, as well as how to configure your system using the System Preferences. Because Mac OS X is Unix-based, the Mac OS X Pocket Reference shows you how to issue basic Unix commands using the Terminal application. Topics covered in this book include:

How to configure your Mac OS X system
How to use the Finder and the Dock
An overview of keyboard shortcuts for use with the GUI and the Terminal
How to create special characters and symbols

The book starts out with a "Mac OS X Survival Guide," which shows Mac users what's changed from Mac OS 9, and also helps Windows and Unix converts get acclimated with their new OS. The Mac OS X Pocket Reference concludes with a 30+-page "Task and Setting" index, which answers questions that users might have when trying to configure their system. This handy pocket reference is the ultimate guide for newcomers to Mac OS X, and is a great companion for use with David Pogue's Mac OS X: The Missing Manual.

Media reviews

"[Consumers] will find the fine 'pocket references' produced by O'Reilly to be compact and affordable."
-- James Cox, The Computer Shelf: Midwest Book Review

"If the perils and pitfalls of Mac OS X accost you at home, at work, and in between, you need Chuck Toporek's 'Mac OS X Pocket Reference' (O'Reilly, www.oreilly.com, $12.95). This handy guide puts hundreds of Mac OS X tips, hints, and explanations in a compact 4.25-by-7-inch format."
--MacAddict, August 2002

"Unlike the massive computer books usually seen on the shelves of book stores this book can literally fit in your pocket! Being a little nerdy I did this (just because it is titled a pocket reference and I figured it would count as research)... This isn't a book that will keep you up at night but when you are on the phone with a friend and need to know how to chmod quickly, I guarantee you'll be reaching for this."
--Jon Gales, Macmerc.com, May 15, 2002

"Although the Designer's Bookshelf concentrates on books in the visual communications fields, the 'Mac OS X Pocket Reference' caught all our Mac User's fancy and won the Design-Bookshelf.com Editor's Choice Circle for July 2002."
