Microsoft Books

This book is an easy to understand training guide to Mircosoft. There is an added bonus of being able to contact the authors direct. Their e-mail address and 800 number is printed right on the back cover. I would highly recommend purchase of this book for anyone who wants to learn about word processing.

This book focuses on learning Microsoft Word by tutorial techniques. It is not a book to read and absorb, but one that should be worked through at the computer.

The book covers all the features of the Word program in an easy to understand manner. There are many exercises (acitivities) for the person to work through.

The book also has a little bit of "language enrichment", which helps the user refresh what may have been lost in time. Remember back when we all learned word meanings and punctuation in 5th grade and then promptly forgot them. This book will bring that back.

This was an excellent way to learn Microsoft Word. It was full of helpful hints and keyboard shortcuts.

This book is an excellent self-paced course to take. 2 courses in one (Proficient & Expert) and covers almost everything possible. Microsoft's Office User Specialist exam does not compliment this extraordinary course. The labs have a couple mistakes, but easy to figure out. I recommend this to all who use Office 97 Word. Buy this for your employees or yourself, but don't participate in the exam ... yet anyway.

This book contains excellent information for new users of PowerPoint 2007. Explain very detailed each function and have exercises to complement each part. Also, they include a CD with all the exercises and the E-Book.

In fact, I thoroughly enjoyed the entire Step-By-Step series covering MS Office. I strongly suggest any student, curious George or researcher to pick up a copy and read it. I recently purchased MS 2007 Access, Excel, Power Point and Word set in the Step-By-Step series. The authors are concise in their descriptions without being boring and the information is invaluable.

The number of changes that Microsoft implemented when they went from Visual Basic 6.0 to the .NET Framework are huge. This book takes you through the steps to not only convert your current code, but to get you into the correct mind set to program in the .NET architecture.

The examples in the book are clear for the basic programmer to learn from, and at the same time cover all of the steps one needs to be aware of to make a successful program.

This definitely should be your first book to read when planning the updating of your current code and future code plans.

With all that has changed from VB 6.0 to VB.NET, you need a solid starting place for our personal migration. This book provides that solid starting place with a good mix of theory and examples, organized in a very easy to follow natural progression.

The book takes you through the basic changes to Visual Basic .Net, to the new features of the language, and finally how to make it all come together.

The author has a solid grasp of the material and presents it in a way that allows you to get a working knowledge of VB.Net in a short amount of time.

each chapter is well written, not dry to read, easy to understand. although they should probably write a new version using office 2007 excel.

This textbook is the best intermediate to advanced statistics textbook currently available on the market today.The Excel instructions are self explanatory and include every step needed to apply a particular statistical procedure.The instructions for calculating joint probability tables and constructing tree diagrams are excellent and easy to follow.The example problems include all the steps.The notation used is simple,direct and straightforward.It will not cause any confusion for a student.The handling of p-values in hypothesis testing and multiple regression analysis is very well done.Based on my extensive teaching experience at the college and university level,I would highly recommend this book to a student, who is taking a statistics course that emphasizes applications, at the intermediate to advanced level.

For a beginner such as myself, learning any type of programming language was about as much of a challenge as it was figuring out how to stop that blinking 12:00 on my VCR-next to impossible.Mr Wang detailed everything in such a well manner I felt like Capt. Picard venturing out on a new frontier. I almost forgot I was reading a book on programming. I learned alot and had a good time. I highly recommend this book!

The ...Dummies series of books was a great concept from the beginning. Never before have there been technical references which could just be read for their entertainment value alone. Beware of ...Dummies books not in the computer genre, they are mediocre at best. This one however proudly continues the heritages started by Dan Gookin in being informative, technical but not more than is neccessary, and allowing you to start from a point where "computer" is still a word to be looked up in your dusty Webster.

Jan Ozer has done it again. A well written, easy to understand book is a "must have" for anyone using MyDVD. Book has lots of visuals and is written in such a way that even the average user will be able to use MyDVD to the fullest in no time at all. Very reasonably priced also. Two thumbs up!

An absolute must for MyDVD users. Where Sonic has done a great job in software design, it has failed terribly in documentation. Ozer has filled that gap with a book that takes you from A to Z with easy flow and great use of screen captures. Highly recommended. It is the documentation Sonic should have included with its product.

As someone who used to use Delphi almost all the time, I hate to admit that in order to stay employable today, I'm having to know and use .NET. If you find yourself in the same situation, and you want a fast-track to .NET 2.0, then this book is at the top of the list.

It's the single most used book in my collection today when it comes to .NET.

At first, I read it cover to cover. It's not hard reading like some books can be, and it made sense to me since I know Delphi.
But with Jon's writing style, it's organized in a way that I reach for it when I need a quick reference as well.

It comes with special tidbits about the inner workings of the CLR, which I always find fascinating.

I keep it at the front of my bookshelf. I've had other programmers that C++ guys come by and ask to use it. So you don't need to know Delphi to make good use of it. Borland C++ Builder users will find it an easy read as well since Builder is built on Delphi.

Five thumbs up for this one. Well done Jon!

The best way to go from Delphi to Net Framework. Use the Delphi skill to learn Net.

This is a comprehensive study of .NET security issues; it's written from an topic/issue/solution perspective, with separate chapters addressing role-based security, validation/verification, cryptography, web server security, etc. Highly recommended!

Security is a large and powerful feature of .NET, but it has largely been ignored in the .NET documentation and in the books written on .NET. Mr. Mueller's book is a welcome explanation of the ins and outs of this important topic. You'll learn how to accomplish what you want to do--thanks to the author's in-depth research, clear writing, and thorough coverage of this increasingly key topic. As a bonus, the book is just plain interesting as well. Don't hesitate to buy this one! It's a real gem.

A great introductory reference for the novice WAP developer - easy to read, cumulative skill development, comprehensive examples. Also a good introduction to .net programming.

This book is a fantastic resource for those who are just entering into Wireless Application Protocol. It contains advice for users on how to get an IP address for their mobile phone through to developing complex algorithms for use on such devices. The terminology is clear and an example of this is the description of Blue Tooth Technology in Figure 3.7.

It is a dynamic book and has been created so that the reader can gain comprehension through the passages and the graphic screen shots.

Overall it is a very important tool book for those interested in the developing trends occuring in IT and the associated products.
