Good Beginner's Book, By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Apple Training Series: iLife 08 (Paperback)
If you need a general overview of all the new applications in iLife 08, then this book is for you. The book does a reasonable job of combining all the apps into one overall task (i.e. building a website with photos, podcasts, video, blogs, etc).If however, you are looking for a more detailed book on video editing, web site development, photo editing, and / or audio production then this book (and ilife for that matter) is not for you. Other than that, this is a great beginner's book.

Did other reviewers even read the book description?, By
This review is from: Apple Training Series: iLife 08 (Paperback)
According to the description, this book is a training tutorial to familiarize new users with the product suite. Complaining that it is not an in-depth iPhoto reference indicates that the reviewer didn't even read what the book is supposed to be. (Yes, Pogue's Missing Manual is a better fit as an in-depth iPhoto reference, but that's not the point.) The authors do a good job of introducing the products and their functionality to the reader and show how the applications interact. While I might quibble with the approach of focusing on the end-to-end integration, at least I knew that approach was being taken before I got the book. The book delivers what it promises.

Solid Introduction to the iLife 08 suite, By
This review is from: Apple Training Series: iLife 08 (Paperback)
It's not too difficult with the iLife suite to open up the apps and work your way around: connect a camera and phots import, open GarageBand and you can generally work out how to play a note. But the iLife suite, with just a little more research, becomes much more powerful and each application becomes far more productive.Each iLife application is, in this publication, discussed: you begin with the very basis and, by the time each application has been reviewed your in a position to understand what each can do to the point where you're at that 'comfortable' point of being able to do the majority of things you'd like to do on a daily basis. Edit photos, print them, etc. Know how to edit a movie and burn it to DVD. While those with particular interests are likely to move to titles focused on a particular application, if you're interest is in just using the iLife suite to more fully utilise the applications that come with the mac then this is a book well placed to...
