Book Reviews of Mac OS X Snow Leopard: The Missing Manual
Book Review: A VERY good manual, but...
Summary: 4 Stars
I really do like this manual, and really don't know what I'd do without it. However, it didn't take long to discover something the "Missing Manual" is conspicuously missing. As an artist, a homeowner and a Dad, time to do my artwork is short. Although I am somewhat familiar with Dreamweaver (I HAVE designed and published a rather crude, first website with it), and need a website for my art business, my old PowerMac version no longer works on my new iMac, and reviews tell me that even the latest version has some issues on Snow Leopard.
Add to that that it would take precious time to get up to speed on a new design tool, to build another, better site, and the web design function that comes with Snow Leopard becomes very interesting. I know that the more tech-minded tend to thumb their noses at iWeb, because it does not provide access to the code, except via it's WYSIWYG interface, and I understand there may also be issues with web presence and publishing, however, it might be a Godsend to those of us who are technically, time or money (can't afford to have someone do one for us) challenged.
The problem is that Pogue does NOT even mention, much less address iWeb, or even iLife (the cluster that includes iWeb), integral parts of Snow Leopard in his book. For me, its cost (free with the OS), ease of use, and ability to produce a very attractive web page are precisely what I want, and I'm disappointed that it's not discussed. Yes, I know iWeb is simple to understand and use, but so is 90% of what this guide DOES cover. "The Missing Manual" SHOULD cover iWeb, but unfortunately, it does not.
