From the Introduction MacOS Catalina is the 16th major version of Apples operating system. Its got very little in common with the original Mac OS, the one that saw Apple through the 80s & 90s. Apple dumped that in 2001, when CEO Steve Jobs decided it was time for a change. Apple had spent too many years piling new features onto a software foundation originally poured in 1984. Programmers and customers complained of the spaghetti code the Mac OS had become. So today, underneath macOSs classy, shining desktop is Unix, the industrial-strength, rock-solid OS that drives many a website and university. Its not new by any means; in fact, its decades old & has been polished by generations of programmers. To find your way around macOS Catalina, youre expected to use Apples online help system. As youll quickly discover, these help pages are tersely written, offer very little technical depth, lack useful examples, and provide no tutorials whatsoever. The purpose of this book, then, is to serve as the manual that should have accompanied macOSversion 10.15 in particular. Whether you have an antique, hand-cranked 2012 iMac or a shiny new model, this is your guide. If youre a Mac veteran, on the other hand, keep your eye out for similar shaded boxes called Power Users Clinic. They offer more-technical tips, tricks, and shortcuts.

On the other hand, Apple keeps adding features and rarely takes them away. Thats why some chapters come with free downloadable appendixesPDF documents, available on this books Missing CD page that go into further detail on some of the tweakiest features. (Youll see references to them sprinkled throughout the book.) Maybe this idea will save a few treesand a few back muscles when you try to pick this book up. Read more
