So, after being a MAC user for over 6 months, I finally decided to brush up my Mac skills . Till now, I have only been using some basic things like Firefox, Safari, iTunes, Eclipse, CF, SVN, and other basic stuff. Now, I want to go one step ahead and dive into the real power of Mac. Probably try and get used to the Terminal window.
Which is why, I just ordered this book : Mac OS X Leopard: The Missing Manual . I have read the book’s reviews and it looks like a good book for beginners/switchers like me. Anyone already read this book and can give me a heads up?
If you enjoyed this article, please consider sharing it!
Depending on your coding skills one good book for someone who is familiar with Java and starting on the Mac is Mac OS X for Java Geeks. The book is a bit old, the focus is on Jaguar, but most of the stuff in the book is still relevant.

@Larry, Thanks for your recommendation, I am not really from Java background, but otherwise the book looks interesting. Cheers.
I didn’t read the Leopard version, but I bought the same book for Tiger when I switched in late 2006. I found it quite useful. You’ll pick up lots of little power user tricks that just aren’t evident unless someone tells you about them.
I didn’t learn anything revolutionary, but all of the little things added up to make life a lot easier.
@Rob, glad to know you liked the book. I am looking forward to read it. Cheers.
