 Excellent Book!Mar 06, 2010
By Maros
As the title says, this is an excellent book.
There are some things to keep in mind, however:
This book was made specifically for passing the exam, and therefor if you wish to delve into various capabilities of things like the command line in-depth, you'll need further resources. (Especially things like full-on scripting.) If you're jumping into the command line "cold," something like the O'Reilly BASH book would make a good companion.
AppleScript, it should be noted (beyond a half dozen pages in this book), is in another book in this series.
If you wish to become knowledgeable about Mac Servers and you're not seasonably Mac proficient (esp in the 'Apple Way' of doing things...), you'll need this book as the Server book alone will not do. You'll also want the Directory Services book. (Actually, if you start working with DS in any format, you'll want the DS book, Server notwithstanding.)
Again, it's a sweet book and gave me the foundation so I can continue taking my skills to the next level.
Small Nitpicks: Only a few errors, but they will bite you if you don't catch them (Which you will if you try the examples.) If it doesn't look/work right, websearch it, try it both ways, and you'll be good to go.
The top of the page doesn't give you the chapter number (just name), while many pages refer to explanations of various resources in different chapters. As I'm one of those people who "can't let it go," (and look it up immediately) this was irksome.
The nitpicks aren't enough to cut it a full star: 4.5, rounded to 5.

I passed the test in DEC 2009. Everything needed for the test is in this book. Nothing tricky, very straight forward.

Perfect for Beginners or if You Just Need to Pass the Exam!Aug 04, 2011
By Janet Ferguson
Instead of dropping upwards of $1500 for the Snow 101 course to prepare for the Support Essentials Exam, just buy this book and study at your own pace. I bought this book, studied the chapters for a month, took the exam, and passed with flying colors. I have little previous IT knowledge (beyond the basics such as how to use a computer, connect to the Internet, etc.) In fact, I bought my MacBook Pro less than a year ago and had never owned a Mac previous to that. If I can do it, you can do it.

Very well written and very well editedJul 13, 2010
By Greg Smith
Mac OS X Support Essentials v10.6 is an extraordinarily well written book. It thoroughly covers the subject matter that it claims to cover. (When you read a book with this title you expect to learn exactly what this book delivers.) The pace is even and the progression is natural. The writing is clear and free of extraneous fluff--very skillfully done. No lame attempts at humor or other failed artifices that distract the reader. There is a lot of material, but the reader never feels like he is being buffeted by a whirlwind of facts and "how to" steps. But the most surprising thing about this book is the very high quality of the editing. I must be mistaken, but having read all 663 pages I can't remember a single typo. No (or extremely few) misspellings or mismatched cases, numbers, etc. Only a few places where there is any repetition, and those places are clearly intentional (for example, repeating a short note that was encountered in a previous chapter when discussing a topic from a different angle). The high quality of all major aspects of this book is rare in the computer industry and very refreshing.
