Teach Yourself VISUALLY iMac
I am a big fan of Apple products, and my household uses them as the primary computer platform. I have long admired Apple’s ability to combine high value, elegant style, ease of use and high power inside a single computer product. All of these qualities are on display in iMac line of computers, the heirs to the original Macintosh computer.
Today’s iMacs are a far cry form their simple predecessors form just a generation ago. They are powerful machines that can accomplish many more tasks than the average user can even conceive of. Even though they are pretty intuitive to use, they still require learning quite a few specific skills. “Teach Yourself Visually iMac” is excellent introductory books that will help you get a better grip on the use of your iMac.
The book is broken down into many simple tasks, and it does not have to be read sequentially or in any particular order. It is best used as a quick reference book for when you really need to get something done with your iMac. The exposition is very easy to follow and very pedagogical. The sample of topics covered includes “Connect External Drives,” “Set Time Limits for a User,” “Remove Apps,” “Compress Files,” “Set Up FaceTime,” “Create a Custom CD,” “Identify Faces in Photos,” and many others. Most of the topics are at the beginner level, but there are a few that can be of value even to an experienced Mac veteran.
This is very beautifully designed book. Every page is glossy in full vibrant color. It is simply a pleasure to leaf through the book. No book can completely capture the brilliant vibrancy of iMac’s beautiful display, but this one comes as close as it’s possible in the printed form. All the images and screen shots are very clear and easy to read.
This is overall a very well written and well-designed book that can be of a lot of help to many new iMac users.
