Windows Surface Quick Start Guide - Scott La Counte Cover Art

Windows Surface Quick Start Guide

Windows Surface Quick Start Guide And Windows RT Too by Scott La Counte

I still remember Windows 95. It was revolutionary in every way! No longer were there clunky windows; Windows 95 had a clunky start button that had replaced it--and to top it off, there was a music video of Weezer! It was the first time I had ever seen video on my computer screen, and it was amazing...and pixelated! If you remember any of the thrill of Windows 95, then you're in for a treat--Windows 8 is a complete overhaul. Gone is the start button. Gone are a lot of things. Microsoft took a revolutionary approach with Windows 8--they changed the entire design, and it takes some time getting used to it. This short guide is to help get you to know Windows 8—the focus is on the Windows Surface tablet, but because Windows Surface is running a version of Windows 8, much of what is in this guide will apply to any version of Windows 8 you may have.  This is a beginner’s guide—it’s for the people who turned on their Surface and have confused ever since! If you are an experienced computer user, you may find some helpful tips, but the emphasis here is on giving new users a crash course.

Swift Programming Language - John Peterson Cover Art

Swift Programming Language

Swift Programming Language Your comprehensive guide to learn all the basics of the Swift programming language, step by step by John Peterson

Swift is a multi-paradigm, general-purpose, open-source programming language for iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, watchOS, and iOS development. It was created by Apple in 2014 to give developers a powerful language to develop iOS apps. According to swift.org, the language was designed to be safe, fast, and expressive. It’s intended to be a replacement for C-based languages. The Swift language is constantly evolving, and the community continues to grow. Swift source code can be found on GitHub, making it easy for anyone to access the code. Swift features Powerful generics: Generics allow you to write flexible, reusable functions and types that can work with any type. Native error handling: Swift provides support for throwing, catching, propagating, and manipulating errors at runtime. Structs and classes: Swift allows you to define a structure or class in a single file, and the external interface is made available for other code to use. Protocol extensions: Swift allows you to define behavior on protocols themselves, rather than in global functions or individual conformances. Memory safety: Swift automatically manages memory and prevents unsafe behavior from happening in your code. Memory management: With Automatic Reference Counting (ARC), Swift tracks and manages our app’s memory usage. This means we don’t need to worry about memory management ourselves. Flexible enumerations: Swift enums support pattern matching and can have payloads. Swift was designed to be easy to learn and easy to use. Apple created the language with new coders in mind. Whether you’re still in school, exploring a new career path, or wanting to learn how to code, Swift was created to be a simple and intuitive first language to learn. Once you learn Swift, you’ll be an appealing candidate for potential employers. Swift developers are in high demand. According to Apple, the company has created around two million jobs in the United States. According to Indeed, the average salary for an iOS developer in the U.S. is $116,804. If you want to get into app development, Swift is a smart language to learn.

12 Things Every iPhone & iPad User Should Know by Macworld Editors

While using an iOS device isn’t hard—and that's partially why we love them—even savvy users like Macworld readers have holes in their iPhone and iPad knowledge. Maybe you know everything there is to know about Safari caching, but you're in the dark when it comes to iPhone photography. Or perhaps you're a Mail maestro, but you'd like to be faster at composing emails on a digital keyboard. Whether you've forgotten an iOS trick or you want to learn some new ones, our editors have you covered. We polled our community—and our newsroom—to create a list of 12 essential iOS features we think every iOS user should know about. Topics include syncing your accounts and data, managing your apps, printing, and working with Bluetooth. You can learn how to troubleshoot meddlesome battery issues and brush up on your security and backup options; we'll also explain the basics of multitasking and editing text, and walk you through shooting a quality photo and working with PDFs. These iOS essentials first appeared as the cover story for our April 2012 issue; not only does the book include all the information from that print feature, we've redesigned the layout, included new galleries and videos, and added a little bit extra for our ebook viewers.

55+ iPhone 5 Quick-Start Tips and Tricks to Get You Started With Your Phone

55+ iPhone 5 Quick-Start Tips and Tricks to Get You Started With Your Phone Or iPhone 4 / 4S With iOS 6 by Scott La Counte

My parents are official iPhone users. I began writing this book when I realized that they could make phone calls and take pictures, but didn’t have the faintest idea how to make the text size bigger on their text messages or a number of other things that I thought were common sense after using the phone for a day. I decided to make a list for them and this book is a result of that. If you have been using Apple products for several years, then this book will probably have a few tricks that you didn’t know—especially if you are upgrading to the new OS (iOS 6). The book, however, is geared towards those getting started. This book is meant to be a quick start reference. It’s not a tutorial on how to use your phone. If you are looking for something that is more hands on and teaches you how to use the phone from square one, then you should try the beginners’ handbook which I have also written: The iPhone 5 Quick Starter Guide. Additionally, if you’d like to just see what major things have been added to iOS 6 then jump to the last section which is just for your reference and does not count towards the 50+ tips in this short guide.

A Beginners Guide to Using Mac OS X (10.10) Yosemite A Guide to Unplugging You Windows PC and Becoming a Mac User by Katie Morris & GadChick

Apple Maps.  Robert Downey Jr.  Detroit.  These are a few examples of great things that just needed some hard work and a fresh look to really explode.  After OS X Mavericks was met with indifference, many worried that future OS X updates would continue to be a steady stream of minor upgrades and tweaks.  Continuing the new naming convention of Californian locations, the new iteration will be dubbed ‘Yosemite’ after California’s beloved national park, with no relation to a certain Looney Tunes character.  With OS X Yosemite, Apple is showing the world that OS X is not doomed to incremental upgrades, and diligently went through everything “feature by feature, pixel by pixel” to create a totally new and improved makeover for an old friend.  If you’ve used any OS X version before, there’s no way you’ll feel totally lost as you forage through Yosemite but your computer will definitely look and feel like a brand new system.   There are many new changes both aesthetic and mechanical, and this guide will take you through it all whether you're an OS X spring chicken or a grizzled Mac veteran.  If this is your first Apple computer (congrats on making the jump by the way!), we will also detail how to switch everything over from your old PC, and show you the differences between Windows and Mac.  If you are ready to learn the ins and outs of OS X Yosemite, grab a fresh cup of coffee (decaf if it’s late) and let’s get to work.

In the Beginning...Was the Command Line - Neal Stephenson Cover Art

In the Beginning...Was the Command Line

In the Beginning...Was the Command Line by Neal Stephenson

This is "the Word" -- one man's word, certainly -- about the art (and artifice) of the state of our computer-centric existence. And considering that the "one man" is Neal Stephenson, "the hacker Hemingway" (Newsweek) -- acclaimed novelist, pragmatist, seer, nerd-friendly philosopher, and nationally bestselling author of groundbreaking literary works (Snow Crash, Cryptonomicon, etc., etc.) -- the word is well worth hearing. Mostly well-reasoned examination and partial rant, Stephenson's In the Beginning... was the Command Line is a thoughtful, irreverent, hilarious treatise on the cyber-culture past and present; on operating system tyrannies and downloaded popular revolutions; on the Internet, Disney World, Big Bangs, not to mention the meaning of life itself.
