Using the Microsoft Web Apps, By Fred Sabin (New Jersey, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Using the Microsoft Office Web Apps (Paperback)
The New Jersey Computer Club (NJCC) is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to educating the public about computer systems, software, and their uses; providing community service to charities and educational groups; awarding an annual NJCC Memorial Award; and sharing knowledge and social activities with other computer enthusiasts. I therefore read and review numerous books related to computer usage and applications, both for personal use and for our mainly senior NJCC members.Using the Microsoft Office Web Apps came to my attention for three reasons: 1) Paul McFedries is a favorite author who has published numerous computer books with excellent content, especially his visual and illustrated books that are ideal for senior computer users. 2) Que Publishing (Pearson Education, Inc.) is a favorite publisher of excellent computer books, and this book includes full access to a free Safari web edition complete with audio and video tutorials that...

Whether using Microsoft Online Services or Skydrive - quick read and helpful, By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Using the Microsoft Office Web Apps (Paperback)
If you are a cloud advocate and or mobile user which is looking to leverage the Microsoft office components then this book is a nice read with good use case and examples. Author breaks down the differences between client application and Web Apps very effectively. After purchased, I registered and received the free online addition on Safari as well.
Excellent Jumping Off Resource for Cloud Computing,
This review is from: Using the Microsoft Office Web Apps (Paperback)
This is an excellent book to get you started in cloud computing with Microsoft Office. The approach Que takes to computer books is the best out there - great book, free online version of the book which is amazingly handy, and online video resources as well that tie to the book's content. You can have zero experience or some experience in web based apps and this will be a valuable book. Will give you step by step, and "let me try it" examples, and all the links for updates, etc. you'll need to go from zero to pro in a couple of days. Gives balanced attention to both options (SharePoint vs SkyDrive).Overall this is a book worth buying if you want to stay on the front line of technology and move your collaboration to the cloud with Microsoft Web Apps. |
