Take Control of Now Up-to-Date & Contact Released

Tidbits today released a new addition to their Take Control series of eBooks. Take Control of Now Up-to-Date & Contact is a comprehensive user guide for Now Up-to-Date & Contact (NUDC) version 5 for Mac. Unlike most of the Take Control books – this one is free. It's designed for on-screen use, so if you're the type who prefers to have a higher-quality printed manual, you'll have to wait until it's available for purchase (for a nominal fee), which should be soon.

The manual is written by Joe Kissell, whose other books include Take Control of Upgrading to Tiger and Take Control of Mac OS X Backups.

Adam Engst, publisher of Take Control Books said, "After more than 10 years of using Now Up-to-Date & Contact here at TidBITS, we jumped at the chance to write the manual for version 5. Joe did a fabulous job and showed how the combination of a professional author and the Take Control ebook publishing model provides a first-rate manual."

I've been using Now Up-to-Date & Contact for years as well. It's not perfect, but it gets the job done and syncs well with my Palm (currently a Tungsten T3). It's also one of the few calendar and contact sharing options for businesses with a cross-platform Mac/PC environments, since the Now clients for Mac and PC play equally well with the Now server. I can already see, just by skimming this manual, that it's going to be very helpful to those who are trying to integrate NUDC into their workflow.
