Take Control of .Mac ebook revised, just in time for name change
Take Control Books has published the second edition of Joe Kissell’s Take Control of .Mac eBook. The new version covers the use of Apple’s .Mac service with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard and iLife ‘08, with detailed information about:
- Changes to .Mac in Leopard
- Adding movies and photos to a Web Gallery
- Synchronization of multiple Macs through .Mac
- Configuring an AirPort Extreme for use with Back to My Mac
- …and much more!
In light of recent news about possible changes to the name and capabilities of .Mac, particularly in terms of iPhone support, it’s great that this is an eBook that can be updated almost immediately by the author. If you purchase this $15 ebook now, Glenn Fleishman’s upcoming Take Control of Back to My Mac title will be available to you at half-price.
In the interest of full disclosure, I have authored two Take Control eBooks — but not the Books mentioned in this post.

Bookwatch: Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X gets updated
Way back in December, our Christmas Gift Guide featured our pick of the many OS X-related books out there. One of the recommendations was the (very excellent) Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X by Aaron Hillegass - commonly referred to as ‘The Bible’ in the Mac development community.
At the time the book was a little outdated — however in the last couple of weeks an updated third edition has been published. New sections feature Objective-C 2.0, Core Data, Garbage Collection, Xcode 3 and Core Animation, meaning this third edition is all ready for many of the new technologies in Mac OS X Leopard.
At just $32 (via Amazon.com), this updated version clearly ought to be on every developer’s bookshelf (and aspiring developer’s wishlist).[Read]

Two new eBooks focus on Apple’s Mail.app
Take Control Books, the digital delivery brainchild of long-time Mac authors Adam and Tonya Engst, has announced the publication of two new ebooks in their Take Control series.
Author Joe Kissell has written a 95-page tome titled Take Control of Apple Mail in Leopard that describes the 14 new features in the latest version of Apple Mail, details how to use its hidden power, and provides troubleshooting tips in case things don’t work just the way they should. Joe’s companion ebook, Take Control of Spam with Apple Mail, helps you to keep the wave of ED pharmaceutical ads in your inbox to a minimum.
The ebooks are $10 each and are downloaded immediately for your reading pleasure.
In the interest of full disclosure, I have authored two Take Control eBooks — not this particular pair, though.
