Microsoft Books

sorry. i don't know the accury book name. i think ,if you have the book about masm6.11 compiler,please email it to me. thanks alot for you help.

I originally found this book by happenstance at my library and was thankful they had a copy of it. Jeff Duntemann's forward is what convinced me this book was worth while studying. I would classsify this book as a "soup to nuts" book on the Win 3.1 WinHelp.exe compiler and how developers can create Help files using various compiler languages. I think it should have had the title "Everything you ever wanted to know about building Win 3.1 Help files for your apps but were afraid to ask". I found the explanations clear, easy to understand and very detailed. One of the most important parts of this book is the detailed explantion of how to call the MS Win Help files from within the apps that developers create in various compiler languages like Borland's Turbo Pascal and Borland's C++. The one single draw back from my perspective is that this book was published before Win 95;hence it does not cover the new Win95/NT Help compiler,which I think is called HCP, and can be found in the Help directory of Win95. (If you look at Delphi's NetManange Internet components Help Files and compare them to Delphi's normal win95 Help files you will see the difference between NetManage's Win 3.1 Help files and Delphi's Win95 Help files. They are quite different.) Still Michel's book will help a developer to understand the details of the Win95/NT new help compiler and it's detailed complexities. I use Delphi 2, Developer Edition. I needed to create a Win 95.NT Help file for my database apps. Mishel's book plus another book (below) helped me to find my way in creating Win95 Help files. The other book is: "Delphi Developer's Guide", Xavier Pacheco & Steve Teixeira, Borland Press/SAMS, 1995, ISBN0-672-30704-9 This book is a Delphi 1 book. Still it had a simple example in it's last chapter on how to connect Win95 Help files to my Delphi apps. Obviously, Mishel's book doesn't have any of the required Help compiler apps 'link' details for newer compiler languages that came out after it was published - like Delphi or Win 95/NT. Mores the pity. I have, to date, found no other book, or other sources which covers the creation of MS Help files that developers and technical writers require to fully complete their apps before public release. IMhO any apps that doesn't use a sophisticated Win Help file is doomed to failure in the Win market today. I would like to see Mishel write a update for this book for Win95/NT for the newer compilers like Delphi.. Michel's current book is definitely a **must have** book for any developers technical library! Mishel is now one of my favorite computer authors, along with my other favorite author Jeff Duntemann.

I need a book that help me to learn quikly y easy how to use the wizatrons of Clarion 5.0 or More.

If is Posible, If you have an spanish book from this type is better for me

It's amazing how the concepts of Clarion never change. The fundamentals presented in this book are still highly useful in developing Clarion apps today (2005). Keep it within your arm's reach and it will pay off.

"One of our primary goals in writing that book was to give developers the skills they needed to solve their own programming problems. We tried to build, in the reader's mind, a mental model of how Clarion programming works. We wanted to create a road map through the maze of Clarion programming options.", David Harms one of the authors of this book.


This is the book to have if you are looking to learn how Clarion works. If you try to learn Clarion 6 using the current user's guides, you will get frustrated. Why? Because the current documentation for Clarion assumes you have been programming in Clarion since they invented it. This book will help you with that.

After you learn the essentials in this book, I'd recommend to subscribe to ClarionMag and read the newsgroups.

Hope That Helps(HTH)!

I have read to the half of this book. But I plan to read the rest. One day, my cowoker came to me with a book in his hand, "Hey! buddy, you should read this book if you want to work with .HLP." In the afternoon I went to a bookstore and took the book(It's not inexpensive). As a beginner, I have learned a lot of information about .HLP. I'm now looking for the upgrade edition of the book.

Thank you everybody. Be happy all of you.

It is hilarious and telling that this book has been put back into print recently. That indicates how successful HTML Help has been as a standard (it's not cross-browser, not cross-platform, and not good for single-sourcing in a .chm and website, due to unresolved ActiveX objects). This book is the standard on WinHelp, which is officially back from the dead, and it's a fine book, covering principles of hypertext design, authoring tools, and the bells and whistles supported by the WinHelp viewer. The one patch needed for WinHelp, though, is Synchronize Table of Contents (and a persistent navigation window).

It's a easy subject to explain but once you try and implement a DHCP server, you'll find out how complicated it really can get. Mostly because people take DHCP servers for grandite. Their in the back of the room, lurking in the shadows, working quiety and silently. THeir so redundent, you'd never know their were their till everything fubar's. The book is only 230 pages (not 400 like the spec's say) it is indepth at some but shallow at others. If that makes any sense. It's not a beginner's book, so it requires a basic intro understanding of dhcp and what it does. This is a great book if you want to know how to do your job, it gives you more information then you'll need, but isn't that the way it should be? :) I'm using it to help with that 70-216 but I'm not the type of person to read a book that is specifically meant for a test. I'd rather read the requirements of the test and buy 5 books that cover them. Don't choose an answer because it's right, choose it because all others are wrong.

I found this book to be absolutely essential to an understanding of the integration between DHCP and DDNS in Windows 2000. The book is very logically laid out, and is clearly written by a person who knows this subject intimately.

I would recommend this book as a must read to anyone who is attempting the Microsoft Windows 2000 Server, Network Infrastructure or Design exams. Real world network administrators will probably find this book sitting next to the DHCP server on your live Windows 2000 network, as it contains many step-by-step examples as well as a strong foundation in theory. Excellent coverage is given as well, to enabling downlevel clients to use DDNS in a mixed environment.

My son could not beleive I found this strategy guide plus the game! He really enjoys it! He says it is very informative and helps him a lot with the game.

The strategy guide was perfect.I liked the service.The only problem was that My order did not come when it was supposed to.I called them back and they resent out the item.I recieved only one of the copies of the strategy guide.

Un amigo me habia recomendado el Manual de Windows 98. Decidido a comprarlo, me encontre que habia salido la segunda edicion. Todo lo que le faltaba a la primera edicion, todas las novedades que fueron saliendo estos dos anios, esta aca. Ademas incluye un CD-ROM con la actualizacion entera de Windows 98, que ya trae el Internet Explorer 5. Muy buenas las explicaciones. Como me dice mi amigo "El Dr. Goldberger nos tiene acostumbrados a sus excelentes explicaciones de Windows". Veo que no se equivocaba. En resumen, muy bueno y sin dudas recomendable para todos los niveles de usuarios. Muy bueno el tratamiento de las funciones de Internet Explorer, el manejo de Outlook Express, y la siempre imposible tarea de configurar una cuenta de Internet. Las explicaciones sobre las opciones de configuracion avanzadas y las herramientas de mantenimiento es muy completo. Incluso trae un apartado con el detalle de las novedades de Win98 SE y una guia para cambiar toda la apariencia de Windows de maneras increibles. Una aclaracion: no necesitan comprar la anterior edicion, esta ya incluye todo.

Se puede lograr ensenarle a un principiante sin tratarlo como a un tonto? La respuesta es si. Este libro no cae en los habituales errores de subestimar la inteligencia de sus lectores, o explicar con tecnicismos innecesarios. Todo esta en la justa proporcion, para saber las funciones por su nombre, pero no para saturarnos con jerga informatica que nunca usariamos.

El libro nos ensena todos los principios basicos de Windows, desde la instalacion hasta una detallada explicacion de cada accesorio. Los comandos basicos del sistema de ventanas, las funciones de los menues, los atajos para aumentar la productividad, todo esta incluido. Dedicar tiempo a leer este libro significa ahorrar muchas mas horas de trabajo, sabiendo manejar cualquier parte de Windows (y por lo tanto cualquier programa basado en el se hace mas facil de manejar).

Ademas, nos introduce al manejo basico de Internet, los navegadores y los clientes de correo gracias a su explicacion de Internet Explorer y Outlook Express; al mantenimiento de la computadora con Scandisk y el desfragmentador de disco; a ahorrar espacio gracias a FAT 32 (sistema al que converti mi disco al enterarme como hacerlo sin riesgo, gracias a este libro); a solucionar los tan comunes problemas de impresion si tener que investigar las interminables paginas de ayuda de Windows.

Como ensenarle a un principiante? Con este libro. Gracias, Dr. Goldberger, excelente trabajo.

I learned so much from this excel book. I didn't know anything about Excel. The pictures and the step by step guide make it so easy for you to learn Excel. I've been practicing everyday for 2 hours and learning more and more. It's like you get these aha moments and say "Oh so that's how you do it" I would definitely reccommend this book to anyone who wants to learn excel. It really is an EXCELLENT BOOK A+++++

I recommend the Easy series in all of my adult computer classes. Easy from Que and Plain & Simple from Microsoft Press are easy to follow and non-intimidating for new users.

I used this book for the past three PowerPoint 97 classes which I taught at a local community college. It is clear, easy to follow, and definitely one of best book for learning PowerPoint 97 at the beginning and intermediate levels.

Coming from someone who only buys "Dummies" books, I decided to try this book instead, mainly because the easy-to-follow steps where much more colorful and simpler than the "Dummies" books. I was so glad I purchased "Easy Powerpoint!" I wish they had one for Corel!! I went through the entire book, using the authors examples and was a pro in less than 8 hours! It covered most of the material which is in "Creating Cool Powerpoints," but was much easier to read and follow along with. I wish this series was as widely distributed as the "Dummies, and Idiot's" titles.

I bought this book for my parents just after I helped them buy their first PC. With a couple of short lessons from me and this book, my mom is now happily creating folders and saving, copying, and moving files, etc. This book was a perfect introduction to the WinME operating system for them. Mom says it is a great reference tool too, for when she can't remember exactly how to do something (and can't get me on the phone). I would highly recommend it for all who are new to computers.

A word of warning to new computer users, however. This book is an introduction to the WinME operating system. It will NOT teach you to use your word processing or spreadsheet software. You will need a separate book for that. (Might I suggest _Microsoft_Works_Basics_ by Pasewark, if that's the software you have. Once again, this has Mom's and my stamps of approval.)

Also, if you're simply upgrading to WinME from an earlier operating system, this book will be too basic for you.

Once again Shelley O'Hara has written the best how to book available.

Easy to read. Easy to understand. Easy to apply.

I am an instructor for the Denver Public Library. I teach a class called "How to Buy a Computer" we have offered this class many times over the last two years and I have recommended the earlier "Easy Windows 98", now QUE has come through with the next upgrade with their best author. I will now suggest, as I have in the past, when you buy your computer you must also buy this book: "Easy Windows Millennium" it is as necessary as a surge protector.

I found the Effective Executive's Guide to Microsoft Outlook 2002 to be informative and useful. I really liked the tone, as I get irritated quickly with guides that hold your hand through each action, assuming you have no knowledge whatsoever. This guide offers interesting tips, has a nice layout, and is reasonably priced as well.

This book on Outlook 2002 is a good reference for anybody who's using Outlook 2002--and especially for corporate users. The book emphasizes the email applications of Outlook, as the list of chapters below show, but it also covers the other types of work you can do:

Chapter 1: Getting STarted with Outlook Chapter 2: Reading E-Mail Chapter 3: Sending E-Mail Chapter 4: Managing Your E-Mail Chapter 5: Using a Contacts List Chapter 6: Managing Your Time Chapter 7: Maintaining Outlook

Appendix A: Using Notes Appendix B: Outlook and Exchange Appendix C: Automatically Process Form Data Appendix D: Glossary

Most Outlook users will find this book supplies all the information they need. The two weak points (at least for some readers) of this book are that it doesn't provide enough information about Outlook for people who are Outlook administrators or developers. I.e., it's not like one of those 1000pp Outlook references that tell you everything there is to know about Outlook. Another weak point is that if someone really likes the hand-holding and slow pace of, for example, a Dummies book or a Complete Idiots Guide or a Step by Step book (where they tell you to click OK when you finish with some dialog box), this isn't the right book. It assumes you've got some basic computer skills.
