Mac OS X Mavericks
Mac OS is one of the most powerful operating systems in the world. While it\'s easy to use and loved by many for its streamlined interface, it can be a bit confusing to dive into, especially if you\'re coming from a Windows ecosystem. This Mac OS X Mavericks course was designed with Windows users in mind, introducing them to not only the new features of Mavericks, but also the operating system as a whole. We start by learning the ins and outs of the operating system and then we move on to more advanced topics like app usage and networking. One chapter is completely dedicated to the new additions to Mavericks, allowing longtime users to get up to speed on iBooks, Finder Tabs, the iCloud Keychain, and more. You can watch the series in any order; it can be a quick refresh for Mac veterans and a valuable comprehensive course for beginners. To begin learning today, simply click on the movie links.
