Joe Kissell is back with an update to Take Control of Automating Your Mac, bringing the book to v1.1, and providing more information on getting things done faster, easier, and automatically. From the ease of an application launcher to the power of Keyboard Maestro to the complexity of Microsoft’s Visual Basic in Office, Joe shares some examples and advice on how getting started and then pushing it to the next level. Find out why you shouldn’t worry about system updates breaking your workflows, what you can do with built-in Yosemite’s Dictation Commands and more.
