Our look is the result of reader comments, our own experimentation, and feedback from distribution channels. Distinctive covers complement our distinctive approach to technical topics, breathing personality and life into potentially dry subjects. This book was written and edited in Microsoft Word X on various Macs. The screenshots were captured with Ambrosia Software's Snapz Pro X (www.ambrosiasw.com). Adobe PhotoShop CS and Macromedia Freehand MX (www.adobe.com) were called in as required for touching them up.
The book was designed and laid out in Adobe InDesign 3.0 on a PowerBook G3, Power Mac G4, and Power Mac G5. The fonts used include Formata (as the sans-serif family) and Minion (as the serif body face). To provide the apple and command symbols, custom fonts were created using Macromedia Fontographer.
The book was then generated as an Adobe Acrobat PDF file for proofreading, indexing, and final transmission to the printing plant.
