    Abstract: Make a smooth transition to Apple silicon Version 1.0.1, updated April 6, 2021 This book teaches you everything you need to know about hardware and related software changes in Apple’s new M1 Apple silicon Macs to make a transition from an Intel Mac, set up security with new options, create effective backups, and work with new options in recovery mode. Glenn Fleishman takes you through the details of how an M1-based Mac handles startup, battery management, and running iOS, iPadOS, and Windows apps. Covers the 2020 Apple M1 Macs: the Mac mini, MacBook Air, 13-inch MacBook Pro. Apple’s new Macs based on the M1 Apple silicon system-on-a-chip offer remarkable advances in performance, battery life, and memory utilization. With those improvements comes a host of changes in hardware, from how a Mac starts up to making backups of your computer to understanding fundamental aspects of system security. Take Control of Your M-Series Mac teaches you everything you need to know about these topics and much more. You’ll learn not just how to make a bootable clone of your Mac on an external drive, but whether it’s necessary with Big Sur and an M1 Mac. Find out how to make a clean transition from an Intel Mac, while taking advantage of installing and running iOS and iPadOS apps natively within macOS. You’ll also learn the early method of running Windows on an M1 Mac, with notions of what’s to come. If you’ve already bought an M1 Mac and want to get more out of it, or you’re considering a purchase and trying to understand what you need to know, Take Control of Your M-Series Mac will fit your needs. Future plans: This book will be updated as Apple releases updated features for existing M1 Macs and new Macs based on its M-series processors. Here’s what you will learn from this book: Get to know the M1 processor, and what’s so different about it Understand the limits of emulation Control how apps for Intel Macs and universal Intel/M1 apps launch on an M-series Mac Learn the complexities of backing up an M-series Mac Decide whether you need a bootable duplicate of your startup volume Maximize battery life and longevity Work with recoveryOS, a substantially different process with an M-series Mac Walk through a new process of reviving or restoring low-level firmware on a non-responsive Mac Manage system security when you need to work with kernel extensions Install and run iOS and iPadOS apps Learn the current limits of using Windows in macOS on an M1 system

    Abstract: Get to know macOS 12 Monterey! Published August 26, 2021 macOS 12 Monterey builds on the changes in Big Sur, making your Intel or M-series Mac even more powerful and easier to use. This book teaches you how to prepare for a smooth transition to the new version of macOS—and what to do once you've upgraded. Learn your way around, find out about new capabilities (and a few pitfalls), and improve your privacy and security. Following 2020's Big Sur release, which massively overhauled the macOS interface and introduced support for M-series (Apple silicon) Macs, we have macOS 12 Monterey. Although the look and feel are quite similar to Big Sur, Monterey adds refinements, improvements, and interesting new features to books your productivity and your privacy. As was the case for Big Sur, we're not publishing a separate Take Control of Upgrading to Monterey book. Instead, complete upgrading instructions are included here, along with details about what to expect before, during, and after your Monterey installation. Among the many subjects covered in this book are: How to tell whether your Mac is compatible with Monterey Steps you should take before upgrading Upgrading to or from the Monterey public beta How to perform an in-place upgrade—or do a clean install and migrate your old data from a backup Improvements to FaceTime, such as updated audio and video options, scheduled meetings, and (later this year) SharePlay New Messages feature, including Shared with You better handling of photos, and new Memoji options Changes in Safari 15---some great, some controversial The Focus feature that takes Do Not Disturb to a new level Shortcuts, which has made its way from iOS/iPadOS to macOS and added new features What's new in the Maps app, including more city detail, Driving mode, and better transit support Small but interesting changes throughout macOS, such as AirPlay to Mac, iCloud+, improved password support, and Quick Note Improvements to bundled apps, including Books, Finder, Mail, Notes, Photos, and more

    Abstract: Keep up with all the changes in iOS and iPadOS! Version 1.1, updated September 20, 2021 Your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad gain all new features and interface changes with iOS 15 and iPadOS 15. In Take Control of iOS 15 and iPadOS 15 by TidBITS Managing Editor Josh Centers, you'll learn what's new, what's coming soon, and how to get more out of your Apple mobile devices with these operating systems. iOS powers the iPhone and iPod touch, while iPads run the (very similar) iPadOS operating system. Apple updates both iOS and iPadOS each year with new features, interface changes, and other improvements. In 2021 we're up to version 15, which brings both system-wide enhancements and updates to a number of built-in apps. Josh Centers has once again written a guide to all the new stuff. This is not intended as a user manual for iPhones and iPads, nor is it a comprehensive guide to everything in iOS/iPadOS. Instead, it's a shorter, more focused book aimed at helping those who are already used to iOS or iPadOS get up to speed quickly with the changes in iOS 15 and iPadOS 15. Among the many topics covered in the book are: A crash course in iOS/iPadOS basics How to use the vastly improved multitasking controls in iPadOS 15 Using the new Quick Note and Menu Bar features in iPadOS New FaceTime features, including grid view and links to future calls The Shared with You feature in Messages and other supported apps How to make the most of Safari's controversial new design Managing notifications with the new Focus feature Using Driving view, filtering, and other updated Maps features How Live Text works, plus other Camera- and Photos-related changes System-wide improvements to accessibility, privacy, and security Smaller changes to other system components and apps, including iCloud+, Siri, Find My, Spotlight, Reminders, and much more Anyone with a compatible iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch will benefit from Josh's in-depth explanations.

    Abstract: Understand and use Bitcoin, Ethereum, NFTs, and more! Published June 29, 2021 In Take Control of Cryptocurrency , Glenn Fleishman casts aside the headlines and hype around cryptocurrency to dig in on the fundamentals. You learn everything you need to know as an individual from the ground up about cryptocurrency, including details about the popular forms of it. You’ll find out what risks it poses for the planet—and for your pocketbook. Discover the role of a cryptocurrency wallet, how to find the best one, and how to use it safely. You will understand the ins and outs of buying and selling cryptocurrency and using it for real-world purchases and sales. Glenn also explains the mystery of NFTs (non-fungible tokens), which are a peculiar but popular use of cryptocurrency that lets you own unique digital artwork. Cryptocurrency is a new way of representing value that’s going through the throes of change and no one knows exactly what form of it will survive and thrive. It hit the mainstream years ago but 2021 seemed to whip people into a frenzy over Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tether, and several other popular forms. Valuations—the price in cash one could get when selling cryptocurrency—soared. But cryptocurrency doesn’t have an inherent price: it’s worth only what people will pay for it. In May 2021, most cryptocurrencies plunged in value by half or more. Meanwhile, a similar furor arose over the introduction of “non-fungible tokens” (NFTs), a way to use an aspect of cryptocurrency to buy and sell unique ownership of digital assets, like born-digital art and clips from NBA basketball games. NFTs similarly suffered a giant drop in value from a peak in May 2021. What is this all about, anyway? Why did cryptocurrency and NFTs tank? Take Control of Cryptocurrency ignores the hype in favor of the reality beneath it. This new form of currency is not going away, even if the price in dollars, euros, and renminbi may fluctuate madly. The future of the economy will incorporate cryptocurrency and you can get to know it in great but understandable detail with the help of author Glenn Fleishman. This book teaches you what cryptocurrency really is and how it relates to government-backed money. Glenn walks through all the parts of a cryptocurrency in clear detail—like a wallet, blockchain, and transactions—and explains how cryptocurrencies produce permanent transfers. He also lets you see two different kinds of risk: the side effects of Bitcoin and others in consuming ma...

    Abstract: Track your stuff, find your friends, and safely share your location Version 1.0.1, updated September 20, 2021 Take Control of Find My and AirTags takes you inside Apple’s Find My ecosystem. Once a way to track the whereabouts of your iPhone by having it ping the internet at regular intervals, now Find My encompasses sharing and following people (with permission), much of Apple’s hardware and some Beats audio gear, and new trackers from Apple and third parties (including the AirTag). This book helps you understand how it all fits together, and how to keep yourself safe by preventing, identifying, and blocking unwanted tracking. Since the introduction of Find My iPhone over a decade ago, Apple has made it possible to Find My Nearly Everything. The current ecosystem encompasses people, Apple devices, and low-power, long-life trackers. Take Control of Find My and AirTags takes you through the many parts of Find My so you can configure and refine how you and your stuff is tracked and shared. The book looks at three different kinds of tracking: People: Learn how to share your location safely, follow others who let you, and send and receive notifications about arrivals and departures. Devices: Apple lets you track the whereabouts of your and Family Sharing group members’ iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, Watch, AirPods (all models), and Beats audio hardware (some models). Get to know the ins and outs of enabling Find My and taking remote actions, from playing a sound to wiping your data from a device. Items: Find out how AirTags make use of the crowdsourced network of other people’s Apple devices to help you find a lost or forgotten purse, backpack, or even car, and about third-party devices licensing the technology from Apple. Also get to know the dangers of Find My stalking and how to identify the risk, deter unwanted tracking from happening, block it if you find it—and report it to law enforcement or get other help. The book also digs into how Family Sharing interacts with personal and device location sharing and finding, and how to help other people find their lost stuff if they don’t have one of their own Apple devices handy. Covered operating systems are iOS and iPadOS versions 13 through 15, and macOS 10.15 Mojave through macOS 12 Monterey—and all the new options introduced in the latest releases of each. Here’s more of what you can find in this book: Find out the difference between device-based Find My tracking and the Find My network. Figure ou...

    Abstract: Keep your Mac safe from intruders, malware, and more! Version 1.0.1, updated February 10, 2021 Secure your Mac against attacks from the internet and physical intrusion with the greatest of ease. Glenn Fleishman guides you through configuring your Mac to protect against phishing, malware, network intrusion, social engineering, and invaders who might tap physically into your computer. Glenn teaches how to secure your data at rest and in motion. Learn about built-in privacy settings, the Secure Enclave, FileVault, sandboxing, VPNs, recovering a missing Mac, and much more. Covers Mojave, Catalina, and Big Sur. The digital world has never seemed more riddled with danger, even as Apple has done a fairly remarkable job across decades at keeping our Macs safe. But the best foot forward with security is staying abreast of past risks and anticipating future ones. Take Control of Securing Your Mac gives you all the insight and directions you need to ensure your Mac is safe from external intrusion and thieves or other ne'er-do-wells with physical access. Security and privacy are tightly related, and Take Control of Securing Your Mac helps you understand how macOS has increasingly compartmentalized and protected your personal data, and how to allow only the apps you want to access specific folders, your contacts, and other information. Here's what the book has to offer: Master a Mac's privacy settings Calculate your level of risk and your tolerance for it Learn why you're asked to give permission for apps to access folders and personal data Moderate access to your audio, video, and other hardware inputs and outputs Get to know the increasing layers of system security through Mojave, Catalina, and Big Sur Prepare against a failure or error that might lock you out of your Mac Share files and folders securely over a network and through cloud services Set a firmware password and control other low-level security options to reduce the risk of someone gaining physical access to your Mac Track and recover a Mac---or erase it remotely---if it's lost or stolen Understand FileVault encryption and protection, and avoid getting locked out Investigate the security of a virtual private network (VPN) to see whether you should use one Learn how the Secure Enclave in Macs with a T2 chip or M-series Apple silicon affords hardware-level protections Dig into ransomware, the biggest potential threat to Mac users, but still a largely theoretical one Decide whether anti-malware s...

    Abstract: Prevent (or solve) problems with your Apple ID! Version 2.0.2, updated April 6, 2021 This book covers everything someone needs to know about configuring an Apple ID account, interactions with iCloud-based services, and troubleshooting account access. Your Apple ID is much more than a simple username. It's a key that unlocks a long list of Apple products and services on any of numerous devices. iCloud uses an Apple ID, as does Apple Music; the App Store; the Music, TV, and Books apps; and more. An Apple ID protects your personal information, including email and iOS/iPadOS backups; helps you find a lost iPhone; and can even unlock your Mac. So it goes without saying that if something goes wrong with your Apple ID, you could be in for a world of hurt. Unfortunately, things go wrong with Apple IDs all the time. Fortunately, Glenn Fleishman, a veteran technology journalist and the author of Macworld's "Mac 911" column, is ready to help with expert advice on how to manage your Apple ID—including how to prevent, solve, or work around most common problems! In this book, Glenn answers questions like: What all is my Apple ID used for? How does my iCloud account relate to my Apple ID? What problems can two-factor authentication (2FA) solve, and how do I use it? Are there other mechanisms I can use to ensure that I can recover an Apple ID in the event of a problem? (Spoiler: yes!) What if I have a device that's too old to work with two-factor authentication? What should I do if I have two or more Apple IDs or iCloud accounts? Will I lose access to all my Apple media purchases if I move to another country? Can I share an Apple ID with someone else? What exactly should I do if I think someone is hacking my Apple ID account? How can I recover a forgotten Apple ID password? What steps should I take if Apple locks me out of my account? If I lose access to an email address associated with my Apple ID, what can I do? What Apple ID changes in iOS 14/iPadOS 14 and macOS 11 Big Sur do I need to know about? How does "Sign in with Apple" work? How can I use Family Sharing to share data and purchases within my family? What types of subscriptions can I manage with my Apple ID, and how? Which payment methods can I associate with my Apple ID, and how do I manage them? And that's just the beginning. Glenn has packed a remarkable amount of concise problem-solving information into this compact, 124-page book. Read it before you encounter Apple ID problems to minimize your r...

    Abstract: Get started with Zoom basics Version 1.0.1, updated 9/3/2020 Zoom became the online tool that everyone suddenly needed to master for school, work, and social life. This free Take Control book is here to help. Take Control of Zoom Essentials gets you quickly up to speed, including installing a Zoom app or using Zoom in a browser if you haven't yet done so. It takes you through setup of your hardware, physical space, and Zoom apps, and teaches you to be an effective participant in meetings, including sharing your screen. This short, free book will make you an intermediate Zoom user in hours, without frustration. You may have spent your life blissfully unaware of and not needing videoconferencing software. Then the pandemic hit, and all you heard was Zoom, Zoom, Zoom! The easy-to-use service isn't always as simple as it appears. We want to help during this difficult time with a free book that will help you master all the basics of Zoom while keeping all the hair you may still have this late in 2020. Take Control of Zoom Essentials focuses on getting you quickly up to speed, even if you've already used Zoom before and felt like you didn't know enough about being an effective participant in a meeting or reliably joining meetings. It starts with software choices, explaining the differences between native Zoom apps for major platforms and browser-based web apps. This look at essentials then proceeds rapidly through important topics, like improving your audio and video, setting up yourself and the space around you to put your best foot forward in meetings, and how to connect to a meeting. You also learn the various ways to view other participants and the host (there are several), share your screen to make presentations or demonstrate an app, and the best ways to interact and stay safe in meetings. This free book will help you feel like you're in firm control of Zoom, before and during meetings. For additional insight and help into all the topics covered in this essentials book, get a copy of the in-depth Take Control of Zoom , which dives in much further on setting up Zoom, working around roadmaps, using Keynote and PowerPoint in presentations, virtual cameras for presentations and mixing streams of media, and how to host and manage meetings.

    Abstract: Get up to speed quickly with macOS 11! Get ready for macOS 11 with Take Control of Big Sur . Learn everything you need to know to prepare for a smooth transition to the new version of macOS—and what to do once you've upgraded. Discover new features, explore the revised user interface, and avoid potentially unpleasant surprises. macOS 11 Big Sur is more than just Apple's annual update to its Mac operating system. This revision breaks entirely new ground, significantly overhauling your Mac's look and feel, adding big new features, and including support for the first (soon-to-be-released) Macs based on Apple silicon rather than Intel processors. We're changing things up this year, too. Rather than two separate titles on the new macOS version as we've had in past years, this time we've rolled everything into one: a book that helps you prepare for the new system, safely upgrade your Mac to run Big Sur, and then get to know all the new features. (So, if you're looking for Take Control of Upgrading to Big Sur , look no further: this book contains an abbreviated version of Joe's legendary upgrading instructions.) Big Sur is still in public beta testing, but you can read the book now either to get help with installing and using the beta, or to learn what will be in store once the full version is released. Some of the topics covered in this book are: How to tell whether your Mac can run Big Sur Steps you should take before upgrading How to perform an in-place upgrade—or do a clean install and migrate your old data from a backup What Control Center is and how it can simplify adjusting system settings What's new in the Maps app (guides, Look Around, indoor maps, and more) Ways to improve your messaging with enhanced group conversations, Memoji, and other changes in Messages How to use and customized the heavily revised Notification Center New features in Photos to make your images and videos even better Improved privacy features in Safari—plus a Start Page, improved tabs, and spiffy new features The small changes throughout macOS and bundled apps, including Apple Arcade, Spotlight, Siri, the App Store, Notes, Reminders, Voice Memos, and more Plus, we'll publish a free update to version 1.1 of the book as soon as possible after Big Sur reaches the public release stage, in order to cover any changes that occur between now and then.

    Abstract: Build productivity amid sudden change Version 1.2, updated March 25, 2020 Working from home for the first time, especially with no advance preparation, can be a tough rock to roll up a hill. This book takes insight from many long-time home workers—remote staff, regular work-from-home employees, and freelancers—to help you equip your space, set boundaries, and use new tools and techniques. Take Control of Working from Home Temporarily is a free 61-page book tailored for the sudden onset of telecommuting. It's our way of trying to help. We advise you on how to stake out a space to work, how to equip it either with material you already have or what to buy if you can afford to invest in the space. Do you want to stand or sit? (Get a better chair or a laptop or monitor riser.) Should you get an external monitor if you don't have one? (Yes!) The book delves into furniture and hardware setup, including the right kind of audio input and output for calls and videoconferencing, as well as looking at security, collaboration, and communication software tools you may be unfamiliar with or might set up for your team or company. Part of the difficulty in working from home is creating a separation—physically if possible and psychologically—from the rest of your home life. This can take as much effort if you live alone as if you have a partner, roommates, or an extended family. We delve into strategies for staking boundaries, working around others, and trying to communicate limitations to your work that arise from this necessary period of isolation. For parents, we know that you may have school-age kids at home for weeks or months, and there's a chapter with suggestions on how to juggle those obligations with your work requirements. And we remind you to be kind to yourself, take breaks, and not replace an absent commute with simply more work. A little tea or coffee, some stretching, and a brisk walk around the block while maintaining social distancing can go miles towards boosting your mood. This isn't easy for anyone—it's OK to admit that. We're all navigating this new world together, and we want to help. Author Glenn Fleishman, a veteran freelancer, who has spent the last decade working full-time in a home office, solicited advice from dozens of Take Control Books authors, contributors to the Mac publication TidBITS, and friends and acquaintances who have hundreds of years of collective remote work experience. If you're like us—Glenn and Take Control Books o...

    Abstract: Are you thinking about installing a home security camera (or several!) or a smart-home security and sensor system that includes cameras? This book guides you through the many decisions about quality, features, privacy, and security that will help you find just what you want. If you own one or more home security cameras already, you'll learn much more about options, configuration, and changes you can make—and how you might expand your system or replace parts of it. (This book could even convince you that the time isn’t right to purchase a home security camera given tradeoffs you don’t want to make, especially on privacy and security!) In Take Control of Home Security Cameras , networking and security expert Glenn Fleishman shows you how to make smart choices about buying and configuring cameras that take into account technical details, video quality, system integration, your own privacy and that of others, and internet security.

    Abstract: Take your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to the next level iOS 14 brings new features to your iPhone or iPod touch, while iPadOS 14 updates your iPad with the latest goodies. In Take Control of iOS 14 and iPadOS 14 by TidBITS Managing Editor Josh Centers, you'll discover all the new features in iOS 14 and iPadOS 14 and how to make the best use of them. Every summer, Apple releases public beta versions of its mobile operating systems, with the final releases in the fall preceding new iPhone models. This year, we're up to iOS 14 and iPadOS 14, both of which include tremendous new convenience features and significant revisions to your favorite apps. As usual, Josh Centers is back with a book on the new operating systems, but this time around, we're taking a different approach. Instead of recycling and updating loads of old content, we're starting from scratch with a slimmer guide that focuses primarily on what's new in iOS 14 and iPadOS 14. Build on everything you already know about using your iPhone or iPad and explore what Apple has changed and added this year. Take Control of iOS 14 and iPadOS 14 covers a wide range of topics: Refresh your memory about how to perform common tasks such as navigating the lock screen, accessing Control Center, and managing your apps. Take a quick spin through the major design changes and new features. Clean up your Home screen with App Library. Add widgets to your Home screen. Use the new tools in Messages to improve group discussions. Find cycling routes, local guides, and more in the updated Maps app. Use new and improved features in the Camera and Photos apps. Get more (and better) Z's with sleep-tracking features in Health. Organize your notes and voice memos more effectively. Translate conversations in real time. Protect your privacy when using a mobile device. Find out what special new tricks are exclusive to iPads. Use new accessibility features to make your device easier to use. And much more! Anyone with a compatible iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch will benefit from Josh's in-depth explanations. Plus, we'll publish a free update to version 1.1 of the book as soon as possible after iOS 14 and iPadOS 14 reach the public release stage, in order to cover any changes that occur between now and then.

    Abstract: Master networking, privacy, and security for iOS and iPadOS! Ensuring that your iPhone or iPad's data remains secure and in your control and that your private data remains private isn't a battle—if you know what boxes to check and how to configure iOS and iPadOS to your advantage. While Apple biases security and privacy in your favor, Take Control of iOS & iPadOS Privacy and Security takes you into the intricacies of Apple's choices when it comes to networking, data sharing, and encryption. The book comprehensively covers networking, privacy, and security in iOS 14 and iPadOS 14, answering any question you might have across all of those areas. The book covers Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and cellular networking; third-party password managers; tracking an iOS device; USB port blocking to prevent brute-force passcode cracking; Low Data Mode for cellular and Wi-Fi data; using the Apple Watch on a Wi-Fi network; configuring and setting up Personal Hotspot and Instant Hotspot; blocking jerks and spam; two-factor authentication with an Apple ID; using AirDrop and AirPlay; solving connection problems; and much more. The book offers insight into what information you may unintentionally expose about yourself, and how to prevent Apple and third parties from gaining access to your details. This includes the several techniques Apple has built into Safari for iOS and iPadOS that prevent advertising and tracking companies from following your actions and connecting your browsing behavior on unrelated sites. You'll learn how to: Troubleshoot problematic Wi-Fi connections. Create and manage passwords for easy entry, including with third-party passwords tools. Understand Safari’s blocking techniques and how to review websites’ attempts to track you. Work with Find My to meet up and travel with friends and family, and track down lost devices.

    Abstract: Take the pain out of dealing with files and folders Version 1.0, published December 15, 2020 Your Apple devices contain an overwhelming number of files and folders, and as these items accumulate, they create more work for you. Does your file management system involve throwing everything on the desktop and then pawing through it laboriously when you need to find something? Do you even have a system? There’s a better way. This book helps you organize, search, and clean up the files on your Mac, iPhone, and iPad, providing practical steps and realistic strategies to save time, reduce clutter, and decrease stress. Apple users have fantastic tools at their disposal for using, creating, and editing files of all kinds, but few of us have any real strategy for naming, organizing, or tagging those files—making them increasingly difficult to find later on. In this book, veteran technology author Jeff Carlson helps you make sense of what could be millions of files on your Mac, iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch so that you can spend less time hunting for things and more time doing useful work (or having fun). Jeff starts by helping you set appropriate file management goals and develop overall strategies that fit your needs and preferences. Then he gets into the details of how to use the Finder (on a Mac), the Files app (in iOS and iPadOS), and third-party tools to make sense of your files and folders and easily find what you're looking for. This book covers topics such as: How to keep important items in sync among your devices Choosing when to use internal storage vs. external storage (such as an external hard drive, a NAS, or the cloud) Whether and how to use iCloud Drive to sync your files, including Desktop and Documents folders How to create shortcuts to your favorite files and folders Understanding how the macOS folder hierarchy works The best ways to use the desktop What you should consider when creating a folder hierarchy Why and how to use tags to categorize files How you can automatically sort, rename, and file items on your Mac When to consider third-party information management apps (such as DEVONthink) How to find files and folders with Spotlight in macOS, iOS, and iPadOS Alternative search tools you might want to consider How to work your way through a long backlog of unsorted (or poorly sorted) files Ways to free up storage space If you're struggling with file management, this book will help you get a grip on the process—and get your devices to do...

    Abstract: No mundo de hoje, dados é poder, mas o verdadeiro segredo do sucesso é ter poder sobre seus dados. Use a Cabeça SQL leva você ao coração da linguagem SQL, da sintaxe básica das queries, usando INSERT e SELECT, à dureza da manipulação do banco de dados com subqueries, joins e transactions. A medida que você avança na leitura, entenderá efetiva e eficientemente o projeto e a criação de banco de dados, utilizando queries, normatização e joining. Você será então o verdadeiro mestre dos seus dados! Por que este livro parece tão diferente? Nós acreditamos que seu tempo é muito valioso para ser desperdiçado. Tendo como base a última pesquisa em neurobiologia, ciência cognitiva e teoria do aprendizado, Use a Cabeça SQL tem um visual rico, projetado na forma como seu cérebro funciona; não se trata de uma abordagem pesada que faz com que você caia em sono profundo. “Este livro não torna o SQL mais fácil, mas o torna desafiador, interessante e divertido. Isso até responde à pergunta ‘Como ensinar queries não relacionadas sem perder a vontade de viver?’ Esta é a formacorreta de aprender – é fácil, é vibrante e tem uma aparência incrível.”— Andrew Cumming, Autor de SQL Hacks, sqlzoo.net. “Existem aqueles livros que você compra, livros que você guarda, livros que você deixa na sua mesa, e graças à equipe do Use a Cabeça, há uma última categoria, os livros da série Use a Cabeça. São aqueles livros com as páginas cheias de orelhas, usados e carregados para todos os lados. Use a Cabeça SQL está no topo da minha pilha”. — Bill Sawyer, Gerente de currículos, Oracle.
