Windows 8 Inside Out by Tony Northrup


Windows® 8 Inside Out PDF Download Ebook. Tony Northrup offers hundreds of timesaving solutions, troubleshooting tips, and workarounds. It’s all muscle and no fluff. Discover how the experts tackle Windows 8—and challenge yourself to new levels of mastery!

Topics include installing and personalizing Windows 8, mastering the new UI and features, using pen, touch, and voice input, implementing security essentials, managing files, disks, and drives, sharing and synching digital media, setting up and troubleshooting a home or mobile network, monitoring and tuning performance.

This book is loaded with useful tips that even a non-technie like myself can put to good use. For example, the author tells you how to create a default start screen so every user added to your computer would start off with that default template! How crazily, wildly awesome! This is also the only book among the half a dozen I've read that tells you each Win8 "Metro" app is installed separately for every user!

But here's where some in-depth discussion is left off; for instance, the author tells you that this approach allows each user to manage his/her apps individually without impacting others, but does not discuss the resources ramifications.

Tony Northrup, MCITP, MCPD, MCSE, CISSP, has written more than 20 books covering Windows system administration and development, including several Microsoft Press® Training Kits, and is coauthor of Windows 7 Resource Kit and Windows Server 2008 Networking and Network Access Protection (NAP).

Windows 8: The Missing Manual PDF Download Ebook. David Pogue provides technical insight, lots of wit, and hardnosed objectivity to help you hit the ground running with Microsoft’s new OS. This jargon-free book explains Windows 8 features so clearly—revealing which work well and which don’t—that it should have been in the box in the first place.

This text introduces a slew of new features, including better organization tools, easier WiFi connections and home networking setup, and even touchscreen computing for those lucky enough to own the latest hardware.

With Windows 8, Microsoft completely reimagined the graphical user interface for its operating system, and designed it to run on tablets as well as PCs. It’s a big change that calls for a trustworthy guide. David Pogue, Yale '85, is the weekly personal-technology columnist for the New York Times and an Emmy award-winning tech correspondent for CBS News.

His funny tech videos appear weekly on CNBC. And with 3 million books in print, he is also one of the world's bestselling how- to authors. In 1999, he launched his own series of amusing, practical, and user-friendly computer books called Missing Manuals, which now includes 100 titles. Like its predecessors, this book illuminates its subject with reader-friendly insight, plenty of wit, and hardnosed objectivity for beginners as well as veteran PC users.
