Bart G. Farkas is the author of more than 90 books, most of which are strategy guides for computer and video games, but he has produced a reasonable catalog of technology books as well, such as Secrets of Podcasting: Audio Blogging for the Masses, The Nintendo Wii Pocket Guide, and The BlackBerry Pearl Pocket Guide. A former registered nurse, pilot, musician, and petroleum transfer technician, he spends his time writing fiction and nonfiction books in the idyllic climes of Cochrane, Alberta, in the company of his wife, three children, and two cats.

The Xbox 360 is guaranteed to be the biggest holiday hit this year! New Xbox 360 users will want to start using their gaming console as soon as they take it home, and this guide shows them how. In this essential and compact book by best-selling game author Bart Farkas, readers--from beginners to avid experts--will learn how to get the most from the Xbox 360. Bart walks readers through the set-up, the features list, the most popular games, shopping through Xbox Live, accessories, using Xbox 360 as a media center and much more.  All of this is taught in the straight-forward style, along with accompanying graphics, that has made the Pocket Guides from Peachpit Press so popular.
