4.0 out of 5 stars Clear and straightforward guide to a quick start with iLife, April 7, 2009
By John A. Suda (Rochester NY) - See all my reviews
  


For home users, the Apple iLife set of productivity applications may be the most useful and elegantly designed suite on the market. The suite consists of photo, video, music making, DVD and Web page applications, which not only are separately worthwhile, but are integrated seamlessly.

While each application has Apple's well-known ease-of-use, some people like or need some guidance starting and completing home projects. That's where a book like "iLife 09" comes in handy. It is one of the books in the Apple Certified Training series and its four authors are experienced producers and communicators. The book has four parts with 17 lessons and a very good 18 page index. Each of the authors writes a part reflecting his/her relative strengths of experience, with Richard Harrington writing on both iWeb and iDVD.

The concept of the book is to provide hands-on, practical guidance to producing a project in very short order. The presentations are self-paced learning tools for results-oriented people. The projects include making an instant home movie, photo slideshows, podcasts, websites and blogs, and more. The parts share a common structure - a brief introduction to the specific program, how to open or import source material, how to create or edit material, and how to save, share, and publish. The preferred means of sharing is via Apple's own MobileMe system of Web services. I found the best lessons to be on creating iPhone ring tones and using "green screen" processes to create special effects with iMovie.

This book is not a comprehensive, systematic guide to the iLife applications. It is actually pretty sparse in its coverage of application features and power. It is meant primarily for casual users who want to create fairly simple (but worthwhile) projects in a short period of time. The book is well produced and laden with graphics, full-color photos and screenshots. The writing is straightforward and clear, but utilitarian. There are many "Tips" for readers dealing with either cautions, recommendations, or more advanced matters. It comes with a DVD of lesson material and source media.

3.0 out of 5 stars ilife review, September 2, 2009
By designer (florida) - See all my reviews
I was looking for a more advanced book that would take me beyond the basics for iweb. This book has maybe half a chapter on iweb!
and it is all extremely basic.
