If you've ever transferred handwritten notes to electronic documents, you know how awkward it can be--figuring out the scrawls in the margin, inputting the pertinent information, shuffling through sheaves of paper to find a missing note. There's nothing efficient about that! Enter Microsoft's OneNote note-taking software and this handy Visual QuickStart Guide. With an interface that resembles a tabbed notebook, Microsoft's brand-new software mimics pen-and-paper-based note-taking--but brings a whole new level of efficiency to the process. Single notes can contain both typed characters and handwriting (say lecture notes and a hand-drawn graph); you can input text anywhere on a page; you can drag in text and pictures from Web sites; and there are a variety of options for organizing, formatting, searching, and accessing notes--all of which are explained in friendly, concise fashion in these pages. You'll also find chapters on using OneNote with Microsoft Office apps and tablet PCs as well as plenty of tips and visual aids.

Did you know that if rather than using Google (great as it is) to find, say, the current wholesale price of a given used car, you used a specialized search engine instead, you could end up with a few relevant results rather than hundreds of potentially useful ones? Or that simply by choosing the correct keyword, you could improve your search results exponentially? If you're like most people, you probably know you could be searching more effectively; this volume actually shows you how! After providing a thorough grounding in search basics-keyword usage, wildcards, and more-author Diane Poremsky moves on to the biggies, Goggle and Yahoo, showing you how to make the most out of their differing approaches. You'll also learn about Boolean stars Alta Vista and Hot Bot before the authors launch into an extensive discussion of specialized search engines. Step-by-step instructions and loads of visual aids make learning a snap with this essential guide.

Visual Basic is a versatile language - accessible to those seeking to enter the world of programming, yet powerful enough to support the coding of complex distributed applications. Beginning Visual Basic 6 Application Development is aimed at the programmer who is familiar enough with VB to want to make the transition from building small applications to coding business level software solutions. The book covers the conceptual and practical implications of application development by illustrating, step-by-step, how to design, implement, and deploy, a fully functional sophisticated application based on an online banking scenario. It deals with the wide variety of topics required to bring such a project to fruition, such as software architecture and project planning, business requirement analysis and software design methodologies, and database design and coding components for use in a transactional environment. Of course to support such work a number of technologies need to be employed and consequently the book includes coverage of UML, COM, MTS, ADO, and SQL. 
 The power of the coding approach is fully demonstrated in the final chapters of the book when the book shows how to Web-enable the application through use of ASP and facilitate inter-application communication through XML.
