Customer Review: Although this book didn't get good reviews, I thought it did a very good job explaining things to someone, like myself, with limited background and knowledge. It has been a good reference guide for me and it did remove the fear of getting started with a new technology.
Customer Review: Great Mix of Beginner and Techie Content As an iPhone user since summer of last year and a current user of a 3G phone, this book presents a great resource for someone who is just starting with an iPhone to someone fairly savvy.

Customer Review: As always, begin at the beginning. If you're looking for an iMovie manual, there are plenty of other authors to choose from. That is NOT what this book is about. Ms Sadun has written a book that borders on heresy. How to take a free program and make a movie that does the types of things only... more info

When I want to learn how to do something in DVDSP 2.0 this book is the first reference tool I pick up, and I've rarely had to look elsewhere. Apple ought to have Erica write their... more info
