Microsoft Books

Windows Vista is Microsoft's newest operating system. With Windows Vista, Microsoft changed nearly everything. Most of the changes were minor, but if you were used to doing something in a step-by-step approach in prior versions of Windows, then there is a good chance that some of those steps changed or went away. This book is fully focused on Windows Vista and on showing you how to get specific task done.

If you are new to Vista, then this is the perfect book to get all the information you'll need to get started and more. If you are an experienced Windows user, then this is the perfect book to have sitting next to your computer in case you need to know how to do something. Either way, chances are you'll find the book great to have when you simply can't figure out what you need to do when using Vista.

I'm the author, so after you pick up a copy of Windows Vista Desktop Edition, drop a comment here on Amazon or email me to let me know your opinion of the book!

Cole and Steen have done an excellent job in covering not just the basics, but some in-depth review of How, What and Why.

This text is designed for the network designer and support staff that desire a better understanding of not only what protocols do, but how they can be tweaked to result in better performance. This is also a core text for the MCSE 70-221.

Nice coverage on DHCP, DNS, WINS, RRAS and VPN. I've used this text for reference in my college networking classes and it is a great supplement for the cirruculum texts. This explains, in depth, what our Thompson Course Technology lightly covers.

I used 'Als Planning, Implementing, and Maintaining a Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Active Directory Infrastructure' for my test and scored high. It was a tough test but this guide does a great job of telling you what you need to know. Most importantly it covers the topics in a VERY clear and concise manner. The labs are also very well done and helpful. The separate lab/text is a great format I hope to see for all future exam books.

The book will also make a great reference after the test and is also a great book for anyone wanting to know more about AD in general. Overall one of the best Microsoft Press titles I have seen.

This book really did a good job with a right balance of concepts and examples. So far I seen the book digs into good level of details related to interoperability on XSD issues, .NET remoting vs J2EE, MSMQ vs Websphere MQ. The book also illustrates a XBikes Case Study example using Websphere application server and Microsoft .NET. You will find this book is ideal and ready to use, if you use IBM Websphere and Microsoft .NET.

Reid wrote a book that covered many of the industries luminaries including Jerry Yang and Marc Andreessen and other forgotten people like Mark Pesce who dreamed too far ahead of the kerb.

The book dates better than business potraits because it allows insight into the creators of some of the webs cornerstones like Java and Yahoo! before the corporate comms people managed to use a PR backhoe loader to dump in excessive messaging, spin and massaging the annals of history.

This book examines in detail AJAX, not just how-to use it like many others, but how AJAX integrates with the client and server. These types of details are really great because it helps to understand not just the usage of the UpdatePanel, ScriptManager, etc but how they integrate into the current ASP.NET environment. I am making use of AJAX at my work and find the details and examples incredibly useful. The discussion of client-state was great and will no doubt be very beneficial to my future AJAX controls.

We offer PC training for legal professionals, and it's always been a job to construct legal-specific examples. Not any more. This book will save us hours of design time, is technically accurate, and has a lot of great downloads and samples available for those who adopt it.

I AM AN ENGINEERING MANAGER, NOT A FULL TIME AUTOCAD USER. I FIND THAT I CAN STILL MAKE PROFITABLE USE OF AUTOCAD LT BECAUSE USING THIS REFERENCE BOOK I CAN READILY AND EFFICIENTLY GET "UNSTUCK" WHEN I RUN INTO A PROBLEM.

I was looking for this importent kind of books for a long time , but I did not find it in my country.

Pls Send this book to Saudi Arabia , we need it there.

I have looked at many Access tutorials, yet this book is truly exemplary. What makes this book unique is that not only is everything explained step by step, yet every step has an actual screen photo of the step. You never are lost in any of the proceedures because you can always look at the picture. In some books it was hard to find where the silly buttons where, but with this book there is always a picture of it. On an advanced level, they even go through how to set up an entire database system, also in a step by step and pictorial proceedure. I was so impressed with this book that I have gone as far as to purchase four other books from the Wrox publishing group. All of there books follow the same format and are outstanding as well. With computer books you can waste a lot of time by "getting stuck". But this book gets you past all of that. This is the finest Access tutorial on the market today.
