File Format: CHM


Book Overview:
Like every other application in Microsoft Office suite, PowerPoint is loaded with features. So many, in fact, that even veterans don't know where to find them all.

PowerPoint 2007 also boasts improved graphics, additional templates, the ability to save custom layouts, and improved collaboration through SharePoint. One thing Microsoft hasn't improved is its poor documentation. To learn the ins and outs of all the features in PowerPoint 2007, Microsoft merely offers online help. If you're familiar with previous versions of the program, you may be lost the first time you fire up the new PowerPoint; or you would be if it weren't for PowerPoint 2007: The Missing Manual.

Access 2007 - The Missing Manual

Author: Matthew MacDonald
Language: English
File Format: CHM


Book Overview:
Compared to industrial-strength database products such as Microsoft’s SQL Server, Access is a breeze to use. It runs on PCs rather than servers and is ideal for small- to mid-sized businesses and households. But Access is still intimidating to learn. It doesn’t help that each new version crammed in yet another set of features; so many, in fact, that even the pros didn’t know where to find them all. Access 2007 breaks this pattern with some of the most dramatic changes users have seen since Office 95. Most obvious is the thoroughly redesigned user interface, with its tabbed toolbar (or “Ribbon”) that makes features easy to locate and use. The features list also includes several long-awaited changes. One thing that hasn’t improved is Microsoft’s documentation. To learn the ins and outs of all the features in Access 2007, Microsoft merely offers online help.

“Access 2007: The Missing Manual” was written from the ground up for this redesigned application. Readers will learn how to design complete databases, maintain them, search for valuable nuggets of information, and build attractive forms for quick-and-easy data entry. They’ll even delve into the black art of Access programming (including macros and Visual Basic), and pick up valuable tricks and techniques to automate common tasks — even if they’ve never touched a line of code before. Readers will also learn all about the new prebuilt databases they can customize to fit their needs, and how the new complex data feature will simplify their lives. With plenty of downloadable examples, this objective and witty book will turn an Access neophyte into a true master.

C For Dummies, 2nd Edition

Author: Dan Gookin
Language: English
File Format: PDF

Book Info:
If you’re like most people, the above seems like nonsense. Actually, it’s computer sense—C programming. After digesting C For Dummies, 2nd Edition, you’ll understand it. C programs are fast, concise and versatile. They let you boss your computer around for a change. So turn on your computer, get a free compiler and editor (the book tells you where), pull up a chair, and get going. You won’t have to go far (page 13) to find your first program example. You’ll do short, totally manageable, hands-on exercises to help you make sense of:

* All 32 keywords in the C language (that’s right—just 32 words)
* The functions—several dozen of them
* Terms like printf(), scanf(), gets (), and puts ()
* String variables, numeric variables, and constants
* Looping and implementation
* Floating-point values

In case those terms are almost as intimidating as the idea of programming, be reassured that C For Dummies was written by Dan Gookin, bestselling author of DOS For Dummies, the book that started the whole library. So instead of using expletives and getting headaches, you’ll be using newly acquired skills and getting occasional chuckles as you discover how to:

* Design and develop programs
* Add comments (like post-it-notes to yourself) as you go
* Link code to create executable programs
* Debug and deploy your programs
* Use lint, a common tool to examine and optimize your code

A helpful, tear-out cheat sheet is a quick reference for comparison symbols, conversion characters, mathematical doodads, C numeric data types, and more. C For Dummies takes the mystery out of programming and gets you into it quickly and painlessly.
