Create macOS Sonoma [14.x] ISO without a Mac Computer and FREE

The basic idea of FREE ISO is:
“Use a free non-trusted macOS Sonoma VM in a Hypervisor like VMware Workstation Pro to create from it a macOS Sonoma ISO (Trusted)”

In my case the VM was Ventura 13.x [a year ago created Ventura.iso from this VM, see here the blog post for this], and updated to Sonoma 14.0, After this the non-Trusted VM macOS Updated to macOS Sonoma’s latest…. 14.1.

After Updating to MacOS 14.1 Sonoma, now I will create an ISO Sonoma14.1.iso file… useful for Virtual Machines, etc. Also, this should be a Trusted ISO, you can log in with Online internet accounts free of worries of malware…

STEPS CREATE macOS_Sonoma.iso

=========

STEP-1: Download Sonoma Installer from the Apple Mac App Store

STEP-2: Choose Quit Install MacOS

STEP-3: After this the last session is to give some commands from the CLI/Terminal – [see the end of this blog post for the commands]:

STEP-4: COPY outside the VM

The Sonoma.iso should be in your Desktop of the VM MacOs Sonoma.

You can copy the ISO file to an external USB Stick Storage device:

Sonoma 14.1.iso vs Ventura 13.x.iso:

The 10 Best Front-end & Back-end Web Development Textbooks Used by University Schools or Appropriate for Self-study [beginner or renew/refresh your skillset]:

Notes:

I have read most of these textbooks.
Textbooks are required for beginners in Programming.
Experience Programmers or Web Developers must keep their skills up to date, and Textbooks offer the best Review and practice in new skills…
Books exist in many more categories/disciplines and certain topics are covered by books only, as textbooks may be not available for these.
Web development is a dynamic field that plays a crucial role in today’s digital age. Aspiring web developers often turn to textbooks to build a solid foundation in both front-end and back-end programming. Universities across the world rely on specific textbooks to teach the essentials of web development. In this blog post, we’ll explore the top 10 textbooks used in universities for front-end and back-end web development, ranging from JavaScript to server-side scripting languages.
PHP Web Frameworks like Laravel etc. are best covered by its Documentation and exist some Books for Laravel – as of this writing, I have not found a textbook for Laravel.
