Review
...an invaluable resource, well worth the modest...price tag...an excellent value...gets a full five-A Applelinks rating. -- Applelinks.com
From the Publisher
This book will save you time and money, and it's great for anyone new to OS X. All major categories are covered: Biz & Finance, Development, Games, Imaging and 3D, Math and Science, Net and Networking, Productivity, and Utilities.
Charles Moore of Applelinks.com gave the book the highest 5-A Applelinks rating in his review and wrote (reprinted with permission):
"I found myself quite taken with this little book. I review software for a living, but I discovered some interesting programs that I wasn't previously aware of in its pages, and for someone getting up to speed with Mac OS X, it will be an invaluable resource, well worth the modest...price tag. The bundled CD with a book this inexpensive makes it an excellent value. Having 115 sample applications at your fingertips will be a significant time saver when you're checking out software."

This review is from: Handpicked Software for Mac OS X: The Best New Freeware, Shareware, and Commerical Software for Mac OS X (Paperback)
After purchasing the book, I was amazed at how many applications are already available for the Mac OS X. No one can say the Mac OS X doesn't have enough software written for it. The software disk is a big plus as well. Good job Robert!
