Microsoft C# Step by Step

Advantages: Plenty of great code examples plus visual studio
Disadvantages: Can be difficult to follow

I bought this book for £20.29 from Amazon it was reduced thanks to the fact the new version of Visual Studio is out. The book is split into several sections first taking you through from the classic hello world example writing a very basic program. Then taking the reader though a run down of the langauge, later on it covers a number of topics like working with window applications, managing data and building web applications. Personally I found ...
...level and the end chapters to be very taxing. Included with the book is a copy of visual studio standard with # enabled also a collection of msdn articals and the example chapters on cd. I think the inclusion of all the software alone makes it a worthwhile purchase hey it might be a slightly older versoin however visual studio .net is an excellent development enviroment and unless you are a power use you are unlickly to miss the bell and whistles ...

Cave digbium

Advantages: A good way to learn Latin
Disadvantages: Home learning is always more difficult

...most logical option was the Cambridge Latin Course, they do offer email coaching, which is a great idea but wasn't suitable for the three of us to learn so I opted for the E-learning resource, this is a package that is to be used in conjunction with the book. The DVD was £46.94 which I bought directly from Cambridge university press, the website www.cambridgescp.com gives a great overview, including a demo of this particular package. The textbook ...
...as W. The Cambridge Latin course itself offers 5 books, the first 2 currently have the E-learning option available. Book 1 covers life in Pompeii, Book 2 explores two roman provinces, Britain and Egypt, Book 3 is back in Britain following the life of Quintus (Caecilius's son) Book 4 and 5 are finally Rome. I believe that book 5 is around GCSE level. The site www.cambridgescp.com is a great resource of its own, and has tests on each level to check ...

A good users guide

Advantages: Can work at own pace
Disadvantages: Not all aspects are covered

...of a training version of Sage accounts and comes preloaded with data for you to practise with. For those who are not familiar with Sage, it is a basic book keeping package for small business owners in particular. It has a number of modules which allow you to track transactions (sales), payments and banking details. It also allows you to track VAT and calculate VAT payments. The self training package is aimed at people like me who have little or ...
...sage, including how to install Sage to your computer, set up company details, create invoices, create customer data and how to perform transactions. The only disappointing factor for me, is that not all aspects of sage are covered (for example, I would have liked some guidance in setting up staff information to track payroll, NI and PAYE details). I did manage to find out this information through a friend. I will definitely keep the workbooks as ...

Easy to use and learn - highly task oriented

Advantages: Task oriented, easy to learn, all possible options of performing a task are given
Disadvantages: Point format, assumes knowledge of other Macromedia tools like Dreamweaver

...you have already used other Macromedia products as you are sure to know the terms used or else for first time Macromedia Freehand users, they have to spend some time knowing the interface. 4) The format is good if you want to take a printout of the manual and have it in your hand. 5) There is no need that I have to go through each and every page. I can just go to any page containing the action I want to do and learn how to perform the actions. 6) ...
...documentation comes free when you purchase Macromedia Freehand MX which can be accessed using Help -> User Freehand. It is also available in pdf format (or book format) on the dreamweaver installation CD. It is also available online in Macromedia website. Additional lessons and tutorials are available on the website. ...

A superb A comprehensive standalone dictionary

Advantages: small size,easy use, hugh word database
Disadvantages: nothing really

...consider installing a copy of WordWeb instead. This little utility sits patiently in your SystemTray, waiting for you to enter a word. It then offers a definition - along with synonyms and even types of, or parts of - the word you've entered. For example, entering 'tree' will bring up the following definition: "Tall perennial woody plant having a main trunk and branches forming a distinct elevated crown". But press on the Types tab and you're presented ...
...to click on synonyms and find yourself effectively surfing a thesaurus. WordWeb is a dab hand at solving anagrams and filling in the blanks as well, but this feature is sadly not available in the free version - crossword fans will need to buy the Pro version for $18. ...
