Microsoft Books

I found the book to be very informative and a definite buy for those wanting protect their servers. The need to have a source to assist in securing our busness' servers is tremendous in this era of hacking. This is a must buy.

I'm a third of the way through the book and am extremely satisfied with the way it was put together. The author carefully steps one through the process of creating a presentation without boring you if you're familiar with other MS Office software.

I, unfortunately, purchased the "Hands On Excel 2000" assuming that the material would be presented in the same way. Well, we know what "assume" means, don't we. Don't bother purchasing the Excel book.

I ordered this book expecting a lot of computer jargon that I would not understand. I am new to programming and this book really helped me learn a few things about VB5 and web development. The instructions were very informative and really explained how everything works. There were lessons to follow that made everything easier for me. The CD that comes with the book was very helpful and made the location of the code in the book easily accessible for reference. I would recommend this book to anyone learning VB5 and web development.

This strategy guide tells you almost everything. How to beat different enemies, where the items of interest are, etc. It makes it so easy and fun to play. I'm very hapy.

"There's more than one way to skin a cat", as the old saying goes.

Everything, and more, that can be done using the graphical, mouse-driven, interfaces provided by Windows, can be accomplished by using the command-line. What's more, these tasks can get scripted and be automated!

This book covers the basics of the command-line and how to go about writing batch files (or scripts).

After these fundamentals are covered, commands in various areas of system, domain and network administration are discussed. From configuring and using the task-scheduler, to performance, to managing disks, to AD administration, to network trouble-shooting, one is ready to tackle any administrative task from the command line.

The book also contains a very handy Appendix for those MS-DOS old-timers amongst us. The Appendix covers the MS-DOS commands no longer supported in Windows XP and those not supported in Windows 2003.

A final note is that this book was written with Windows XP and Windows 2003 in mind.

I like this book because it's detailed, yet easy to read -- and makes difficult tasks seem doable. Ellen always gets deep into any subject she discusses, and these helpful details make all the difference. She tackles the all new PowerPoint 2007 interface well, and takes care to introduce all the new features in this version of PowerPoint.

Now in an updated and expanded second edition, Curt Simon's How to Do Everything with Windows XP ably helps its readers to expertly explore all the great XP features, tapping into its power, stability, and user-friendliness. Especially recommended for the novice, How to Do Everything with Windows XP shows how to use new software such as Power Toys, Media Player 9, and Movie Maker 2.

Not knowing a whole lot about javascript, I bought this book with many doubts. To my surprize, Mike Stones lay out was excellent. His examples where clear and to the point. Lots of source code examples to follow too! If you need a good book to get you on your feet in the world of java, then this is the one! Don't settle for less.

This book makes Excel less intimidating and a lot of fun to use. The colorful and easy to understand examples walk you through all the steps until you find yourself knowing Excel. You must buy this!
