Excel 2007 For Dummies (For Dummies (Computer/Tech))

CD-Charts > Books > Archive
by: Greg, PhD Harvey

Release Date December 26, 2006
I also own a copy of Windows XP for Dummies Quick Reference by the same author. I was very happy with Windows XP for Dummies which is why I decided to purchase this book. Greg Harvey, PHD does a great job with both books.

Consistent with the "Dummies" style, you will find plenty of explanations in plain English, "get in, get out" information, icons and other navigational ads, tear-out cheat sheets, top ten lists and lots of humor and entertainment.

Before buying this book I tried an on-line video course to help me learn Excel. This book is so much more helpful than anything that I used previously to learn Excel.

Photoshop Elements 6 For Dummies (For Dummies (Computer/Tech))

by: Barbara Obermeier, Ted Padova

Release Date December 17, 2007
Book is okay but using the Adobe Elements web page showing "how to" videos is much easier to understand. Also Adobe offers a $79 video workshop which is worth the money if you want to learn. I probably would not buy the book again.

Short and to the point, for those of us not having the time or the desire to go over and over items before figuring out what you are reading! Good job Peter Weverka!

TI-84 Plus Graphing Calculator for Dummies

CD-Charts > Books > Archive
by: C. C. Edwards

Release Date June 25, 2004
I have literally not gotten one single answer out of this book. It is a dark unholy thing...just lurching into the night. Even the index is terrible in that it is extremely limited. There is not even an entry on how to use logorithmic functions. I have literally had way better luck pressing buttons in all kinds of combinations to slowly figure out how to use my graphing calculator. Even the manual that came with the unit is way better than this book.

If you buy this rotten book, then plan to take up smoking. You will need to because it is extraordinarily stressful to try and find a single answer to anything out of this rotten text.

It was just what I was looking for, and just as I expected. He assumes you know NOTHING and goes from there. Another good book in the Dummies series.

WordPress For Dummies (For Dummies (Computer/Tech))

CD-Charts > Books > Archive
by: Lisa Sabin-Wilson

Release Date November 12, 2007
I am a systems administrator with a good technical level and I have bought this book because it was well rated at Amazon.

Don't let the title of this book (... for Dummies) confuse you. I had no real experience in working with CMS's and after reading this book I can say I have now a good starting knowledge level for working with WordPress.

In this book you will find a description of Wordpress template system, including how the PHP code and WordPress API works. Also, the book is written by a person with a strong experience in real life web design and she gives advices (interesting plugins and themes, by example) of a great value for a person with no previous knowledge of the product.

Blogging For Dummies (For Dummies (Computer/Tech))

CD-Charts > Books > Archive
by: Susannah Gardner, Shane Birley

Release Date January 10, 2008
Like many Dummies books, this book is comprehensive! It's a thorough introduction to blogging from rank Internet newbie, to the typical active
blogger seeking to learn more about the medium.

As a 2008 book, it's reasonably current. This is one of those Dummies books the publishers will need to update annually. I recommend readers always seek the latest possible edition of any blogging book, as popular technologies change so rapidly in the field. RSS, comment spam, social networks and podcasting are all given their due space. An entire chapter is devoted to adding and managing photos for your blog.

Two large chapters offer the fundamentals of blogging for business and adding advertising. This won't be specific enough ... Read More:
