Review:
To take full advantage of 32-bit Windows, programmers need to know their way around the Registry, the centralized repository for information about the PC, operating system, and applications. With sample code in both C and Visual Basic, Inside the Windows 95 Registry explains how you can use the Registry to store application-specific data, add options to the File/New menu in the Windows Explorer, register OLE components, and support dynamic changes to hardware configuration via Plug and Play--and much more.

Review:
Part one of the book is a very simplistic overview of Intel based personal computers, primarily concentrating on hardware. There is little to be gained from this section, although novice users may find it gives them an introduction to the jargon. Part two is significantly better. Still dealing with hardware, it demystifies a lot of what is "under the hood": probably enough to give most users enough confidence to take a peek. The information is varied, sometimes useful and often not, but generally interesting at least. Part three deals with troubleshooting. While it provides a lot of information, in my experience it misses the most common problems in favour of rarer ones. Data recovery, in part four, is disappointing. The final ...

Review:
The difference between Unix system administrators and Unix gurus is that the gurus understand the system, while the administrators merely know how to use it. Life with Unix: A Guide for Everyone is a joy to read, and it will help you recognize Unix as more of a living entity and less of a mere operating system. First, the book relates information about Unix's origins at Bell Labs and its subsequent free distribution among academic sites. The text provides an overview of the various vendors that shaped Unix (at least, those vendors that were a big deal in the late 1980s) and a guide to Unix documentation (mainly in the form of books and journals). Then, the authors approach Unix from three points of view: those of the user, the programmer, a... Rest of this review on the detail page

Review:
The bulk of the available Linux literature contains large sections devoted to the installation and setup of Linux. This is reasonable, since that is the current question on most interested parties minds: how do I get it, and how do I get it running. This book is for the computer user who is faced with Linux for the first time. It is perfect for the intermediate to advanced DOS user who has to use an existing Linux installation. The book is short, readable, and practical. It gives the reader the tools to get started with Linux without delving deeply into the operating system. copyright Robert M. Slade, 1996
