What is the best book out there to learn automator?

I've been using this mac for a couple of years and have recently started researching how to use automator. I am wondering if anyone can suggest a good book for a novice like me.

I don't know about a book, but there was a good podcast: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/mac-automation-made-simple/id288750552?mt=2
And, this website: http://macosxautomation.com/index.html

  • What is the best price out there.

    what is the best price that some of you guys have found for buying the ipod photo.

    well i jsut sold my ipod photo for $220 to a guy i know. But i have done some loking online at ebay and the general ballpark price its going for is $250 plus or minus with what and condition its being offered. I might also say that this value might decrease more as time for the new ipod becomes more mainstream. why are you asking?

  • What is the best phoen out there?

    I've had the Droid incredible now for two years and it's time to upgrade. I tend to get a little confused when I read the actual reviews of the phone. To me it seems like all smart phones are basically the same. When I read the reviews and they start talking about the different specs, it all gets a bit too technical for me. So, I decided before I started reading reviews I would narrow down the process by way of popular vote. Can anyone be so kind as to recommend which phone is the best.
    Thanks

    When deciding on a phone, you need to determine how you will use it.  What features do you want?  Your statement that all smart phones are alike isn't really true.  Android phones are somewhat similar, but each manfacturer tweaks their phones to make them different.  Ask yourself questions like do I want a large/small phone, a slide-out keyboard, access to the Google Play Store or the Apple App Store, do you want a long lasting battery, etc.  Once you have narrowed the field down to two or three phones, go to the VZW Smart Phone Resource Center, https://smartphones.verizonwireless.com/#/zip%7C47802/page%7C250, and read the reviews of those who have the phones.  I arrange the reviews by the lowest first to see if there is a pattern of problems that users complain about.  If I see a pattern of issues that concern me, I eliminate that phone from consideration.  If you don't want a large phone, which most of the Samsung phones are, you might look at the Razr M.  It has a large screen, but the phone itself isn't too big.  I like Samsungs.  The GS3 is an awesome phone, as are the Razr and the RaxrMaxx, but they are all large and somewhat heavy.  Get feed back from your friends about their phones. 
    Good luck.

  • Graphics card replacement: PCI-X or AGP? What's the best GPU out there?

    Hi everyone,
    I want to upgrade 2 Dual G5 (2.0 and 2.5 GHz, both Dual Processors, not the newer Dual Core). Mactracker says that both have 1 AGP and 3 PCI-X Slots. Currently both Macs have the stock ATI Radeon 9600 XT with 128 MB VRAM in the AGP-Slot.
    Now I'm wondering which replacement GPU gives the best "bang for buck" and whether I should go with an AGP or PCI-X model? I don't need 4 monitors so the old GPUs will be removed. What do you think is the fastest available GPU for these G5?
    Thanks a lot!
    Björn

    Hi-
    The ATI X800XT or the Geforce 6800 Ultra are the two top guns in OEM graphics cards for 8x AGP G5's. This page shows relevant data and performance of the top performance cards that have been available for the G5.
    However, all are very hard to find, with OEM cards bringing a premium price. Flashed PC cards (converted to Mac ROM) of equivalent spec/family, will operate as a true Mac card, though none will have ADC ports.
    The top gun of all the 8x AGP cards that can be used in the G5, is the Geforce 7800 GS.
    These cards are available on eBay, or you can flash your own, using the tools/resources at The Mac Elite.

  • QUESTION: what is the BEST armband out there to avoid sweat build-up?

    I've just finished running with my Nano 4G and a Belkin armband, but the workout ended abruptly, most probably because of sweat between the transmitter and the iPod...having read several reviews and different opinions, I still don't know which one is the BEST armband on the basis of the following conditions:
    1 - normal biceps (not skinny);
    2 - absolute protection from sweat and moisture for the iPod and the Nike+ kit;
    3 - comfortable.
    Is it the Apple one? The newest Nike one? Other?
    Any thoughts and suggestions will be appreciated...THANKS!

    No one?

    yeah, it was all right. I used it to learn java and it was much better then notepad and the command line. however, the version I had did not have autocompletion and so on.
    actually, can anyone recommend a good edition for jsp? I am now using jbuilder, but I think it is not that great for JSP.

  • What is the best book to buy to learn PS

    Can any body recommend a good book to help with PS.

    Duh! …but for what purpose will you be editing those photos, and how, to what extent.?
    That's what Trevor is probably trying to get at.
    One thing is if you are a pro photographer, another if you're just fixing snapshots, etc.

  • What are the best books for PL/SQL and Forms for BEGINNERS?

    I asked about learning Oracle Forms in an earlier thread. Some suggested Oracle training at official Oracle Training centers like Koenig. I just went to the Koenig site. The OCA & OCP Forms Developer Training Boot Camp is a whopping 2,610 USD. That’s like 1/4 Million LKR. It’s more that the yearly salary of both the 2 new developers we got and want to train. That’s out of the question.
    Some have suggested shadowing experiences programmers and team coding. Both options are out, since those things don't work here.
    Learning from sites such as Francois Degrelle's blog is no good for new people since they will get confused.
    I have come to the conclusion that the only way to do is to buy 2 books, one for PL/SQL and another for Oracle Forms, give it to them and ask them to follow the book and learn it and also give a time period like 2 or 3 months.

    In addition to the books the chapter Application Developer's Guide - Fundamentals in the documentation is also worth giving a shot:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14251/toc.htm
    Just for the record: I believe leaving them alone with the books won't do it. I'd at least define objectives (e.g. $chapters of the books in a week) and after they achieved them I'd test their knowledge of the individual objectives (like it was back in school :p ). By that you have control over how they are proceeding, you can focus on the things they didn't understand and you are able to eradicate some bad habits they might adopt during their studies.
    If you don't take your time to train them proper you won't get good developers anyway and you will loose much more time and money...
    cheers

  • What is the best book of objective c and from where i can download it?

    what is the best book of objective c and from where i can download it?

    Before purchasing a book be sure to exhaust the excellent resources on the Apple Developer Site. There are quite a few guides, references, and samples for Objective-C.
    Learning Objective-C: A Primer
    The Objective-C Programming Language
    Object-Oriented Programming with Objective-C
    etc.
    If you are developing for Mac or iOS, there are plenty of other documents describing the frameworks, including the Cocoa Fundamentals Guide,  iOS App Programming Guide, etc.

  • What is the best books for MCSA 2012

    pleas can you advice me what are the best books and materials for pass MCSA 2012?
    thank you.

    Hi, HFAA.
    I understand you want to earn the MCSA title for something with a version number of
    2012.
    There are six (6) different MCSA certification titles currently available. Two of them are version 2012, which are Windows Server 2012 and SQL Server 2012. Here is the web page that describes all six (6) MCSA titles:
    http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en-us/mcsa-certification.aspx
    I am going to assume that you are interested in the most popular MCSA 2012 title:
    MCSA: Windows Server 2012.
    The MCSA: Windows Server 2012 description web page is located here:
    http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en-us/mcsa-windows-server-certification.aspx
    Exams
    You need to pass three (3) required exams to earn this title. If you click each of the links below, you will find the exams' descriptions with a
    Skills measured section describing what is on each exam. As well, you will see a Preparation options section full of study resources for each exam. 
    70-410 Installing and Configuring Windows Server 2012
    70-411 Administering Windows Server 2012
    70-412 Configuring Advanced Windows Server 2012 Services
    Preparation Materials
    Unfortunately, Microsoft has recently updated the content for these three (3) exams for
    Windows Server 2012 R2. These new exams will officially be released on January 28th, 2014 (nine (9) days away). Because of that, all of the previously released study materials (books, exams, etc.) for 70-410, 70-411, and 70-412
    will only be partially helpful in getting you ready for the exams.
    However, Microsoft Press and O'Reilly Media are currently updating their books to include the new
    R2 content and will be releasing them in February, March, and April of this year. The previous releases of their books seem to get the best reviews on Amazon for helping students prepare. Here are the books, with links on Amazon and
    O'Reilly. As time goes by, books from other publishers will also be released.
    Amazon:
    http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=%22Windows%20server%202012%20r2%22%20exam
    O'Reilly Media:
    http://search.oreilly.com/?q=%22Server+2012+R2%22+exam&x=9&y=15
    By the way, I tend to believe the O'Reilly's release dates are more accurate since they are the folks who are actually releasing the books!
    WARNING: As of today (01/19/2014), I don't believe any of the three legitimate Practice Test Providers (Transcender, SelfTest, and MeasureUp) have updated their practice exams for Windows Server 2012 R2 - yet. If I am wrong, I hope someone
    will correct me.
    Focus all your studies on Windows Server 2012 R2 and should be ready to take on an exam. Always prepare for one exam at a time and then take it.
    Also, make sure you take advantage of Microsoft's free Second Shot voucher program, which allows you to retake an exam for free in case you fail it the first time. This program will retire in May.

    Good luck!

  • What is the best book on developing ios apps?

    I'm a beginner looking to develop ios apps. Can someone recommend a good beginner book?

    The answer really depends upon your previous development experience, if any. If you're new to programming, or don't have any experience with C, I'd start with "Learn C on the Mac" by Dave Mark. Here it is at Safari Books Online:
    http://my.safaribooksonline.com/book/programming/c/9781430218098
    This has nothing to do with iOS, but it will lay the foundations for learning Objective-C, for which Stephen Kochan's "Programming in Objective-C" is always highly recommended. The 3rd edition just came out recently (June 2011):
    http://techbus.safaribooksonline.com/book/programming/objective-c/9780321712172
    Again, not iOS specific, but this gives you a solid foundation in the languages. I still haven't decided what is the best book for iOS app development in particular, but my favorite so far is Craig Hockenberry's "iPhone App Development: The Missing Manual":
    http://my.safaribooksonline.com/9780596809997?portal=oreilly&cid=orm-cat-readnow -9780596809997
    Hockenberry's book might be all you need if you have some C and/or Objective-C experience. And it's a good guide, in any case, in that it covers iPhone app development from start to finish, including such things as signing up for a develper account, setting up your iPhone so you can test your apps on it, and submitting your apps to the app store.

  • What's the best book to learn Adobe Illustrator for GUI ?

    What's the best book to learn Adobe Illustrator (I want to use it for iOS graphical user interface design):
    - Realworld Illustrator
    - Illustrator CS5 Bible
    - Lynda.com Illustrator Essential
    - Lynda.com for Web and Interactive Design
    thanks

    Howdy.
    I can't say which is best, but I like  the Visual Quickstart Guide from Peachpit Press. I have it for Photoshop and Illustrator. As the title states, it's for a quick start. A concise description of every tool and option, with simple, easy to follow instructions with screen shots. I have Photoshop CS3, and have well over 10,000 hrs in Ps and have several newer Ps books. But my tattered old Visual Quickstart Guide for Ps 6 is still my first resource when questions arise.
    So far as Illustrator goes, I'm only about 100 hours into it, and so far, so good. But it could be just be a case of ignorance is bliss. Mike has thoughtfully posted the link for Peachpit Press above. You can check it out yourself.
    Peace,
    Lee
    P.S. Here's a direct link to the guide for Illustrator.
