Take Control of Big Sur (v.1.1)

from Joe Kissell, Publisher, Take Control Books You may have heard that Apple finally released macOS 11 Big Sur today! As such, I’ve updated my book Take Control of Big Sur to version 1.1, reflecting the changes that occurred between the beta versions in the summer and today’s public release (which was, in fact, version 11.0.1). We’d like to offer you the chance to save 50% when you purchase this freshly updated book. (NOTE:We’re also releasing an updated version of Take Control of iCloud today, which you may hear about in a separate message.)   Take Control of Big Sur is a complete introduction to the many new changes in macOS 11. Instead of publishing separate titles on upgrading to Big Sur and using Big Sur, this year we’ve combined them into a single book. It contains an updated but condensed version of my upgrading instructions along with complete details on all the new apps, features, and visual changes in Big Sur. It also tells you what you need to know to prepare for the new Macs (announced this week) with Apple-designed M1 processors. Because you purchased one (or more) of our previous books on upgrading and exploring macOS, we are offering you a special price: 50% off. You can:   Buy Take Control of Big Sur (normally $14.99) for $7.50 or Learn more about this book In the coming weeks, we look forward to releasing still more updated books, including Take Control of Apple Mail and Take Control of the Mac Command Line with Terminal.
