I hope you guys can help me out.
I'm coming to Mac from Windows, of the latter I'd say I'm an advanced user. I've been using a MBAir for about 8 months and I've got the "every day use" down good and even some slightly advanced knowledge.
I do technical support for a company and management wants me to get my Mac skills on par with my Windows skills. I've searched Google and Amazon for books on the subject but so far I haven't found what I'm after.
Can anyone suggest any good books or online courses for becoming a power-user with Mac (Mt.Lion or Mavericks)? Advanced stuff like digging into Terminal commands for checking processes and status of the OS and apps; Rsync, generally more in depth stuff about understanding how to "really use" the Mac and diagnose stuff when it breaks with our application.
I don't care so much about learning Garage Band, or Calendar, etc. But I would like to know about sparse bundles, using PF to restrict traffic; general "under the hood" type stuff a regular user would ask a professional for.
Books are great; online courses are good; ebooks are less so, but still good enough. PS, I've been told to specifically say away from the "Dummies" series.
Thanks in advance!
