I've spent the last three months working hard on writing two new e-books. They are "iOS 8 for Users and Developers" and "OS X 10.10 Yosemite for Users, Administrators, and Developers". These are available in two different formats, iBooks and ePub.

iOS 8 for Users and Developers looks at all of the new features for iOS 8 including Family Sharing, Health, Spotlight, iCloud, Extensions, Custom Keyboards, Handoff, HomeKit, Changes to Messages, Safari updates, and Mail changes.

Specifically for developers we look at Handoff, HomeKit, extensions, Custom Keyboard Security, Touch ID API, Sprite Kit, Scene Kit, CloudKit, PhotoKit, WebKit (WKWebView), Universal applications and Size Classes, switching to Modern Objective-C, Visual Debugging, the basics of Swift, and how App Bundles will affect developers.

Pre-orders are available from Apple (ePub), Apple (iBooks), or Amazon (ePub).

OS X 10.10 Yosemite: for Users, Administrators, and Developers looks at all of the new features of OS X 10.10 Yosemite, including Handoff, SMS Relay, the updated look, Extensions, and changes to Safari and much more.

For Server Administrators we look at the ability to customize connectivity globally as well as on a per-service level and the implications of some configurations. Also discussed is the new “Reachability” feature and security.

For the Developers we take a look at the new Frameworks available with OS X 10.10 Yosemite, the changes to Xcode, and a brief look at Swift.

OS X 10.10 Yosemite for Users, Administrators and Developer has something for all users of OS X.

Pre-orders are available from Apple (iBooks), Apple(ePub), or Amazon (ePub).

One section of the OS X 10.10 Yosemite for Users, Administrators and Developers has also been made into a separate e-book. That e-book is titled "OS X 10.10 Yosemite for Server Administrators"

OS X 10.10 Yosemite for Server Administrators looks at all of the new features of OS X 10.10 Yosemite, including Handoff, SMS Relay, the updated look, the ability to customize connectivity globally as well as on a per-service level and the implications of some configurations. Also discussed is the new “Reachability” feature and security.

Pre-orders for OS X 10.10 Yosemite for Server Administrators are only available from Apple. The two versions are iBooks or ePub.

Please Note, the page will be updated as the items become available on the various places. The server portion will be readable over at Macgasm.net very soon.

As I did last year with OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion, I have written a review for OS X 10.9 Mavericks.

As with my other books this one is available in a variety of formats and from various vendors.

OS X 10.9 Mavericks is available from Amazon in Kindle Format, ePub from the Google Play store or iTunes, or in iBooks format. It is priced at $2.99 for each version.

My OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion Client and Server Review is now available for purchase from the Apple iBooks Store.

This version requires a 2nd Generation or 3rd Generation iPad to be able to view.

You can purchase any of the three versions of my review, they are each $2.99.
