Apple posts new online seminars

One of the hidden gems of Apple.com is the collection of free web seminars available 24/7 that cover a wide range of topics and applications. A few weeks ago, Mat posted about the iWork for Business seminar, but a lot of other new seminars have been posted recently.

Some of the highlights:
While a lot of the newest additions are aimed at OS X Leopard Server users or for business users, many of the tips and techniques can be applied for home users too. If none of the new seminars strike your fancy, the existing library of seminars offers some really nice introductions for creating podcasts, using Final Cut Studio or Aperture, and managing a Mac-based network.

Although the video seminars are free, registration is required.

Thanks, Corey!

Apple online seminar: New to the Mac and Compatibility with Windows

You might not be aware of this, but Apple has a large array of online seminars, which are free for you to view. Simply register for them, and you can watch the seminars on demand for as long as they are available.

I just watched the two part, 'New to the Mac and Compatibility with Windows' and I must say I was impressed. Clearly aimed at Mac neophytes, this seminar does a good job of making corollaries between Macs and PCs, and assuring the small business owner that the Mac works with a number of industry standards.

Apple posts 'Mac at Work' site

So much for those "Apple isn't interested in the science/business/pro sector" theories. Behold, Mac at Work, a new promotional site from Apple with information, case studies, online seminars and real world event listings for just about every interest and sector besides consumers. Just look at the first section, Science, with a brief case example of UC Irvine's "HIPerWall", a 200-megapixel (yes, 200) display built from fifty 30-inch Apple Cinema Displays driven by twenty-five PowerMac G5s (I wonder if their interns sneak in at night to load up World of Warcraft). Other notable case studies include an OB-GYN whose office is 100% Mac OS X, a business learning to use podcasts and even a section just for the IT Pros (though I'm not sure if that section is entirely new).

It's nice to see Apple pimping their products to people who are in the market for more than just an iPod. Here's hoping they deliver the Intel-based pro goods (Mac Pros, Xserves) in August to really get the ball rolling on this push into the professional world of computing.

[thanks Kevin!]
