First of all, anyone can learn to program a computer. Computer programming doesn’t require a high IQ and an innate proficiency in advanced mathematics. Computer programming just requires a desire to learn and the patience never to give up. Programming is a skill like swimming, dancing, and juggling. Some people are naturally better than others, but anyone can get better with constant practice. That’s why so many kids become programming wizards at such an early age. The kids aren’t necessarily brilliant; they’re just willing to put in the time to learn a new skill, and they’re not afraid of failing. If you ever dreamed about writing your own programs, rest assured that you can. Programming can be lots of fun, but it can also be frustrating, annoying, and time-consuming. That’s why Wiley publishes this particular book — to help you discover how to program a computer with the minimum amount of inconvenience and the maximum amount of enjoyment. Whether you want to pick up computer programming for fun, to start a new career, or to help make your current job easier, consider this book your personal guide through the sometimes scary — and initially intimidating — world of computer programming. After you finish this book, you can choose the best programming language to accomplish a particular task, understand the tools that programmers use, and even write your own programs for personal use or for sale to others. And after you read Beginning Programming For Dummies, 3rd Edition, you can find more detailed information about specific languages by reading Visual BASIC.NET For Windows For Dummies, by Wallace Wang; C For Dummies, by Dan Gookin; Visual C++ .NET For Dummies, by Michael Hyman and Bob Arnson; C++ For Dummies and C# For Dummies, by Stephen R. Davis; Beginning Programming with Java For Dummies, by Barry Burd; Windows Game Programming For Dummies, by Andre LaMothe; or Perl For Dummies, by Paul Hoffman (all published by Wiley Publishing).
Forty-eight percent of U.S. households perform at least some automobile maintenance on their own, with women now accounting for one third of this $34 billion automotive do-it-yourself market. For new or would-be do-it-yourself mechanics, this illustrated how-to guide has long been a must and now it’s even better. A complete reorganization now puts relevant repair and maintenance information directly after each automotive system overview, making it much easier to find hands-on fix-it instructions. Author Deanna Sclar has updated systems and repair information throughout, eliminating discussions of carburetors and adding coverage of hybrid and alternative fuel vehicles. She’s also revised schedules for tune-ups and oil changes, included driving tips that can save on maintenance and repair costs, and added new advice on troubleshooting problems and determining when to call in a professional mechanic. For anyone who wants to save money on car repairs and maintenance, this book is the place to start.
Welcome to ASP.NET 2.0 Everyday Apps For Dummies, the book that teaches ASP.NET 2.0 Web programming by example. In this book, you’ll find eight complete ASP.NET applications. We’re not talking trivial Hello-World-type applications here. Instead, they’re real-world applications like shopping carts and discussion forums. You can use any of them as-is, or modify them as you see fit. So you’ve got workable stuff already included. (What a concept.)
Making Web applications look and feel like desktop applications is what this book is all about — that’s what Ajax does. Although Web development is getting more and more popular, users still experience the nasty part of having to click a button, wait until a new page loads, click another button, wait until a new page loads, and so on. That’s where Ajax comes in. With Ajax, you communicate with the server behind the scenes, grab the data you want and display it instantly in a Web page — no page refreshes needed, no flickering in the browser, no waiting. That’s a big deal, because at last it lets Web applications start to look like desktop applications. With today’s faster connections, grabbing data from the server is usually a snap, so Web software can have the same look and feel of software on the user’s desktop. And that, in a nutshell, is going to be the future of Web programming — now the applications in your browser can look and work just like the applications installed on your computer. No wonder Ajax is the hottest topic to come along in years.
Back in the Dark Ages — a little over a decade ago — most video editing was conducted in specialized TV and movie production facilities staffed by professionals working on equipment that cost millions of dollars. Then in Premiere. Premiere allowed conventional desktop computers, a revolutionary Years went by, and new technologies entered the picture. More and more video editing on desktop computers. This switch created a growing market of users — and new competition for software manufacturers to produce programs like Adobe Premiere, Apple Final Cut Pro, Avid Xpress, and Pinnacle Edition, all of which cater to professional-consumer (or prosumer) users. Meanwhile, “regular” consumers started editing their own movies too, using low-cost (or even no-cost) programs like Apple iMovie, Pinnacle Studio, and digital camcorders, created an explosion in moviemaking as a hobby few. name changed to only a matter of time before they released a more affordable non-Pro version. Adobe Premiere Elements is that version. Adobe Premiere was a pioneer in desktop video editing, Adobe’s many years of experience shows in the high quality of Premiere Elements. and Elements — you. When I spoke with one of Adobe’smarketing people during the development of Premiere Elements, he suggested that the difference boils down to this: If you are getting paid to edit video, you should use Premiere Pro. If you’re editing video for fun, use Premiere Elements. This way of looking at things seems a little too simplistic to me for two reasons. First, even a video hobbyist can appreciate some of the extra features in Premiere Pro. But second, and more important, in my opinion, Adobe Premiere Elements is so powerful that you probably can use it to make movies that others would buy. In fact, I can think of several professional movie production projects on which I’ve worked (using Premiere Pro) that could have just as easily been produced using Premiere Elements. Ultimately, the choice of whether to buy Adobe Premiere Pro or Premiere Elements boils down to price. Adobe offers Premiere Elements at a remarkably low retail price of about $100 in the U.S., and Premiere Pro costs about $700 more. Although Premiere Pro does offer some extra features, it is not eight times better than Premiere Elements. Adobe Premiere Elements allows you to get serious about your video-editing hobby without having to spend serious money. When it comes to videoediting programs, Premiere Elements truly gives you more for less.
