Gary B. ShellyRezensionen

This is a well-written book (4 stars) on something I find extremely tedious (1 star): Microsoft Office 2010. I averaged and rounded up to 3 stars.

This was my textbook for Introduction to Microcomputers at Ivy Tech Community College. The book provides how to examples and activities to learn the Office programs such as PowerPoint, Word, Excel, and Access. This book is easy to follow and uses many pictures to help show you exactly what your screen should look like while completing any of the tasks in the book. While I knew that I had many of the skills from previous experience in the office program it wasn't until I took this course that I learned how proficient I could be in the programs and how fun they could be as well. If you have the extra money to get this book and want to learn how to run these programs to work for you you should invest in this book. It will be money well-spent.

More humiliation at the hands of higher education.

This is an extremely simple book that looks at the basics of computers and networking. Anyone with basic computer skills could easily pass a course that uses this as their textbook without purchasing it.

This book is very useful for both beginners and intermediate users of the Microsoft Access product. The step-by-step guides walk the reader through database design, report creation, as well as some more specialized functions.

This book is great for a first-time database creator. It teaches the reader how to create and maintain relational databases in Microsoft Access 2007, offering step-by-step instructions and hands-on exercises to ensure that you really "get" it. The huge number of color screenshots in this book are a plus. I would definitely recommend this book if you want to learn a variety of MS Access functions.

This 1980 textbook covers the state of the art in computing before the introduction of the IBM PC. Mainframes, minicomputers, punched cards, batch processing, and Teletype terminals were still the order of the day.

This is one of the earliest textbooks to take the new IBM PC into account. The book teaches line-numbered BASIC for DOS.

This textbook was designed to be used with an introductory course in computers and information processing. Applications cover computer solutions for personal, business, and scientific problems.

In the decade of the 1970s, the Report Program Generator (RPG) played an important role in business application programming on mainframes and minicomputers. RPG is basically application-oriented rather than procedure-oriented.

This textbook was written for the beginning student with no experience in writing computer programs.

The programs in the textbook were written and tested on an IBM System/360 Model 30 computer. Special forms were used for coding RPG input, calculation, and output specifications. Punched cards were used for computer input. Green-bar paper was used for computer output.

With a down-load starting file gently led thro to the steps to building a simple database. Blinkered and following the set examples, it all works. Organised and addressed as class material with a Tutor to introduce and provide additional support material, not available to lonely book purchasers. Talks big but the 'More About' subject just are not available on-line. How desperate are you to learn about Access 2003?½

This is one of those textbooks that I've found very useful over and over again. It has clear, simple diagrams, screen caps and directions for just about anybody.

It covers Word, Excel, Access, Powerpoint and Outlook 2002 plus VERY beginning instructions. (turning on a computer, input devices like a mouse and keyboard, software vs. hardware, purchasing/installing/maintaining a computer,etc.)

I've found it very useful to go back to since I don't work with Powerpoint, Excel and Access very much. Every time I need to do something in one of those programs, this book is THE reference book I use to remind me how to do the basic and/or complex tasks that I need to get done.

I give it 4 stars because while the ring binding is great for having the book lay flat, these kinds of books don't "wear" well and the pages will come loose if you aren't careful with it.

This was assigned for a computer class as part of my MLS degree. I'm sure it would be helpful for students without a lot of computer experience, but it was a waste of money for me.
