Many people unnecessarily spend money buying a new computer when their current PC can be upgraded to meet their requirements. This title takes the reader through this process in simple stages. Many of us would spend more time fixing a ten-dollar pen than repairing or upgrading a thousand dollar computer. Delving inside a PC seems so forbidding that many people would rather avoid it at any cost, even though replacing computer parts is so easy that, with the proper guidance, even technophobes can do it. Upgrading & Fixing a PC in easy steps provides all the information one needs to do just that. A must for all PC users. Upgrading & Fixing a PC in easy steps enables you to keep your PC at the cutting-edge by explaining how to replace components or add new ones. Its simple, illustrated instructions and nifty sidebars teach you to identify, locate, and install the relevant parts to make your computer faster, more versatile, and more powerful. But this book isn't just a handy how-to manual; it's a consumer guide. In truly easy steps, it teaches you to evaluate the performance, storage, and networking needs of your PC yourself.Upgrading & Fixing a PC in easy steps even provides you with a money-saving tutorial on your various buying options and a separate chapter on troubleshooting nasty problems. When one considers the high price and inconvenience of computer store visits, it's no wonder that we think of this both a learning tool and an investment.
Getting Starting with Visual Basic takes a step-by-step approach, helping students understand the logic behind developing quality programs while introducing the Visual Basic language. Using Visual Basic .NET, the 3rd Edition is written in clear, easy-to-understand language, covering all the necessary introductory programming topics to create fun and workable programs. This book takes a unique approach by describing just the objects, controls, and programming constructs needed to complete that chapter's topic. Then each chapter builds on the previous chapter to give the student a full knowledge of programming in Visual Basic by the time they reach the end of the book. This approach keeps the chapters on the smaller side without sacrificing content and helps the student stay focused by avoiding material that isn't immediately relevant and useful. Each chapter has an In-Chapter Project that is described in detail starting with why the program is needed, has a design phase (with drawings, property settings, and pseudocode), discusses objects/controls and Basic programming constructs needed, and includes a complete printout with running screenshots. This book is printed in full color to give advantage to the screenshots which are plentiful, averaging one screenshot per content page. The text is designed for students who have no prior programming background. It starts with installing Visual Studio on the student's computer, but may be skipped by more experienced students who will benefit from the chapters covering databases, Web applications, and other advanced topics. Each chapter covers a major set of programming topics concepts to build knowledge as the student progresses through the book. While the screenshots are from Visual Basic 2015, this book has been tested and found compatible with all versions of Visual Basic .NET from 2010 through 2017. Getting Started with Visual Basic will set you firmly on your way to mastering the language and becoming a proficient programmer. For more information see www.GettingStartedWithVisualBasic.com.
