From the Author

I wrote this book because I wanted to build a platform to help people get the most out of computer technology.
I get countless questions from friends, family, students, and colleagues all the time which I enjoy answering, and I wanted to develop something to help them and other people learn. It is my hope that this book will help you get the most out of your iPad.
If there is anything that I haven’t covered and you would like more information, please contact me at office@elluminetpress.com.
Have Fun,
