Classic
Video and Computer Game Books As
one of the earliest authors of tip books and
strategy guides, I'm making select titles available
as Adobe Reader/Acrobat (PDF) files. Whether you're
interested in beating an old game or are just
nostalgic for the good old days, you can relive a
bit of gaming history on your PC or Mac screen. The
initial titles are Conquering Super Mario Bros.
Adventures, Guide to Nintendo Adventure
Games, The Big Book of Nintendo Games,
Return to Zork Adventurer's Guide, and the
official guides for Virtual Bart, Alone
in the Dark 3, Shadow of the Comet, and
Dust: A Tale of the Wired West. You can read
about and order the PDF books in the new
Game
Books
section. To make it easy for you to see what's in many of my latest titles, I've added links that you can click to download the table of contents and a sample chapter. Each one is an Adobe Acrobat PDF file that will open in your browser or can be read with the free Adobe Reader software (formerly called Acrobat Reader). |

Just
in time to help you make sense of the new Ribbon
interface and learn to use Outlook (Office 2011's
replacement for Microsoft Entourage), you'll find
plenty of new material in this updated Visual
QuickStart Guide. Also provides a thorough
introduction to using the Office Web Apps and
accessing your SkyDrive documents using the
Microsoft Document Connection. Microsoft
Office 2010 for Windows: Visual QuickStart Guide
has been extensively rewritten to provide expanded
coverage of the core Office applications: Word,
Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook, and also provides a
thorough introduction to the Office Web Apps.
Coverage of each application is jam-packed with
information and tips that not only explain HOW to
perform a task, but WHY you need this procedure and
WHEN it's best to use it. [Online

1,000 screenshots to introduce you to the important

previously used Office, you'll benefit from the 60+
pages of new material, as well as detailed

Sample Chapter (4)] Creating a
Database in FileMaker Pro 8.5: Visual
QuickProject FileMaker
Pro 8.5 introduces two important features that may
not be readily understood: Web Viewers and named
objects. To help users take advantage of these new
features, I was asked by FileMaker, Inc. to produce
an update of my previous book: "Creating a Database
in FileMaker Pro 8: Visual QuickProject."
Available only from Peachpit
Press
(Adobe Acrobat/PDF format). Requires FileMaker Pro
8.5 or higher. For
a description of the book, view the
press
release.
If you reached this page looking for the
downloadable icons used in the book's project,
click
here. This
edition updates the FileMaker Pro 8 Bible by adding
material on the new Web Viewer (enabling you to
display live Web pages in your databases), named
objects, and their supporting script
steps. In
the first version of this book (Creating a Database
in FileMaker Pro), users learned to create a
full-featured, flat-file database. In this
edition, you're stepped through the process of
creating a relational database called
Investment Minder. The database contains multiple
related tables, layouts, portals, buttons, and
scripts. Requires FileMaker Pro 8.0 or
higher. FileMaker
Pro 7 has a wealth of features and capabilities
that can be daunting to a new user. Rather than
just wading in, you can use this step-by-step,
full-color, 160-page guide/tutorial to create your
first database and learn by doing. After buying the
book, you can click
here to download the button
images
for the database you'll be creating. The material
in this book is applicable to FileMaker Pro 7.0 and
higher. Note:
To create the database in this book, you must
download a free update to FileMaker Pro 7.

2004 is the email/personal information management
component of Office 2004. This extensive 350-page
guide is the only book written exclusively
about Entourage. Although simple enough for
beginning and intermediate users to understand, it
goes into great depth and is an excellent reference
for "all things Entourage." Like
the previous editions, Microsoft Office 2004 for
Mac OS X: Visual QuickStart Guide
covers all key components of Office 2004, including
Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Entourage. If this is
your first version of Office, your first Mac
version, or you just want to get up to speed on the
new and key features as quickly as you can, you'll
find this book ideal. Microsoft
Office Access 2003 for Windows: Visual
QuickStart Guide Even
after 25 years of progress in creating software,
many programs still aren't easy to learn and use.
And run-of-the-mill procedures may be neither
simple nor obvious. Access (now known as Microsoft
Office Access 2003) is a case in point. Since the
manual is noticeably absent, you're apparently
expected to learn to use this highly complex
program by experimenting and reading the online
Help. Want to learn how to create, customize, and
use Access databases the easy way?
