Hi everyone,

With our company fully moving to OS X in less than 2 months, I have been put in charge of OS X training because my managers don't want to spend the money to outsource it.

Now, I am quite familiar with OS X and all of its behaviors. But I have never really held a training class before, and was wondering what some good resources are for this.

I have the Mac OS X Unleashed book, and I am sure I can copy items out of this. Are there presentations online I can download to show them, or a place where I can find handouts that say this is how you used to do it in OS 9, this is what you now do in OS X?

Thanks for the advice...

Well, for $99 you could sign up for a .Mac account (and demo the ease of use of that at the same time) which is offering an online training course for Jaguar at present. (Or perhaps sign up for the free 30 day demo - maybe you can use the online training that way too?)

www.macosxhints.com is an excellent resource for almost all things OS X, though it isn't really a training site - more a reference for yourself to pass on good hints to others

Serveral companies mac training CDs full of quicktime movies to watch. They are very informative and have worked great on my clients!

VLC Makes quite a few of them:
