Using Macbook Pro like a Pro

Getting a new macbook pro at work was very exciting. I instantly fell in love with the trackpad and mouse gestures and the overall look and feel of all applications, the dockbar, the cute little animated effects. As I started setting up my development environment, I started missing my Ubuntu and Windows comfy zone.

The first shock was no home and end keys, instead a key combination. I still can't get over it. No page down and page up. And how do you refresh a page? Stop decreasing the brightness, it would help it could reload the page instead. Coming from Windows land, mac keyboard didn't feel native to me. But I promised myself to learn how to use mac like a pro. I will share some of my newly acquired wisdom here :)
