Content and Overview

Noteboom Productions designed this course for beginners who are new to the Mac or existing Mac users upgrading from OS X Mavericks. Learning a new operating system can seem like a daunting task. Our instructor, Dan, will guide you through 49 videos in just over 3 hours, teaching you the basics of a Mac and its latest operating system, OS X Yosemite. In addition to lecturing, Dan demonstrates how to get around your Mac quickly, set system preferences, create and organize documents, install and delete applications, and some simple troubleshooting. You are encouraged to have OS X Yosemite installed on your Mac so you can follow along and try it yourself at the end of each lecture.

This course starts with the basics including OS X terminology and migrating from Windows.Once we've established the terminology we move on to getting around OS X Yosemite with the Finder,using the Dock, and using the Menu Bar. Then we go through some extensive lessons on setting up OS X default behaviors through System Preferences. When we have our Mac all set up the way we want it and we're comfortable with getting around, we move on to installing and uninstalling Apps and creating and working with documents. We wrap up with backing up using Time Machine and some troubleshooting tips.

Students completing this course will have the basic knowledge to comfortably navigate their Mac using OS X Yosemite.

I've been a Middle School and A+ Computer Repair instructor in the workforce for 12 years. I haven't finished this course, but I've been around long enough to know that there are instructors and there are INSTRUCTORS. This gentleman is the latter of the two. His voice, technique and unabbreviated delivery gives both the instructor and the course an overall 5 stars.

I loved this course. It was very easy to understand. I am coming from a PC to a Mac and didn't know a thing. After this course I feel I have a really good handle of how to run my mac. Being an older person I can say anyone could understand and learn from this course. Everything was done very professionally.

Although the course started slowly (or maybe I knew that stuff already), it ended up being a very thorough examine of Yosemite. I learned much and recommend it to anyone wanting to learn more about Yosemite.
