Posted by admin 7 September, 2008 (0) Comment

Take Control of Podcasting on the MacTake Control Books has just published the second edition of Andy Affleck’s popular Take Control of Podcasting on the Mac ebook. Anyone interested in getting started with podcasting or improving the quality of their current podcasts should read this ebook.

Take Control of Podcasting on the Mac: Second Edition adds coverage of two widely-used Mac podcasting applications, WireTap Studio and Übercaster, with information on recording and editing podcasts with these two apps. Andy also updated the ebook to discuss podcasting with GarageBand 4, and dropped his coverage of Audacity as a podcasting tool. Want to hear how good your podcasts can sound? Listen to Andy’s promo.

As with all Take Control titles, the $10 ebook will be updated regularly and is available for immediate download from the Take Control website. The ebook includes a coupon code good for up to $14 off the price of Rogue Amoeba’s Audio Hijack Pro and Fission, so if you’re in the market for both of those products you essentially get the ebook for free. In the interest of full disclosure, I have written two Take Control ebooks. [Read]

Take Control of Back to My Mac / Screen Sharing in Leopard

Posted by admin 14 June, 2008 (0) Comment

Glenn Fleishman of Macworld, Wi-Fi Networking News and TidBITS fame has written two new Leopard ebooks, both published today by Take Control Books. The new titles, Take Control of Back to My Mac and Take Control of Screen Sharing in Leopard, are part of the popular Take Control ebook series.

Take Control of Back to My Mac
provides many tips on how to get .Mac’s MobileMe’s problematic remote access service up and working for you, while Take Control of Screen Sharing in Leopard discusses the many tools available for sharing your Mac screen with others.

The books are $10 each, but if you purchase both ebooks and enter CPN006780611BUN as a coupon code, you’ll get an immediate $5 discount. There’s no excuse to suffer in silence with Back to My Mac anymore!

In the interest of disclosure, I’ve written two titles for Take Control Books, neither of which are discussed in this post.

Take Control of .Mac ebook revised, just in time for name change

Posted by admin 30 May, 2008 (0) Comment

Take Control of .MacTake 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.
