Mactuts+ and Mac.AppStorm
So, we know what your first thought will be… How is Mactuts+ any different to Mac.AppStorm? Good question!
Unlike Mac.AppStorm, which focuses predominantly on reviewing apps, Mactuts+ is focused on teaching you how to use your Mac more effectively, efficiently, and powerfully. We’ll be covering a wide range of different techniques, and offering advice on everything from customising your desktop and using OS X, to automating complex tasks and delving into Terminal. So whether you’re completely new to OS X or you’re a seasoned pro, we’ve got you covered!
We’ll be publishing a combination of in-depth step-by-step written tutorials and screencasts/video lessons. Most weeks we’ll be publishing 4-5 high quality tutorials which delve into greater detail than you’re used to on Mac.AppStorm.
So, in short — Mac.AppStorm is for apps, Mactuts+ is for tutorials on how to make the most of your Mac and become a more proficient OS X user!
