Author’s Acknowledgments

It goes without saying that writers focus on text and I certainly enjoyed focusing on the text that you will read in this book. However, this book is more than just the usual collection of words and phrases designed to educate and stimulate the mind. A quick thumb through the pages will show you that this book is also chock full of treats for the eye, including copious screen shots, meticulous layouts, and sharp fonts. Those sure make for a beautiful book and that beauty comes from a lot of hard work by Wiley's immensely talented group of designers and layout artists.

They are all listed in the Credits section on the previous page, and I thank them for creating another gem. Of course, what you read in this book must also be accurate, logically presented, and free of errors. Ensuring all of this was an excellent group of editors that I got to work with directly, including project editor Sarah Hellert, copy editor Scott Tullis, and technical editor Dennis Cohen. Thanks to all of you for your exceptional competence and hard work. Thanks, as well, to Wiley Acquisitions Editor Aaron Black for asking me to write this book.

Chapter 1

Learning Basic Program Tasks

One of the most crucial Mac Pro concepts is the application (also called a program), because you perform all Mac Pro tasks using applications. Therefore, it is important to have a basic understanding of how to start and manage applications with your Mac Pro.

Explore the OS X Screen

Tour the Dock

Start an Application

Start an Application Using Launchpad

Switch Between Applications

View Running Applications with Mission Control

Tour an Application Window

Run an Application Full Screen

Explore the OS X Screen

Before you can begin to understand how the OS X operating system works, you should become familiar with the basic screen elements. These elements include the OS X menu bar, the desktop, desktop icons, and the Dock. Understanding where these elements appear on the screen and what they are used for will help you work through the rest of the sections in this book and will help you navigate OS X and its applications on your own.
