DOWNLOAD EBOOKKnowing that this world is now moving toward a global village we are in information era where practically nothing can be done without the power of computers in most industries. A solid knowledge about fundamentals of computing has become indispensable in everyday life. This book has been prepared for you to uncover several confusing concepts that pose a big challenge to computer learners and users. I am coming from both educational and professional background with great experience to better alienate the hinges that serve as obstacles to high-tech solutions to everyone. It is the togetherness of a great practical experience, educational and teaching skills, technical know-how, and continuous customer value-added service and research that has always been the source of creation of this book and three other computer science books. The feedbacks so far received from few professors in information technology in Dallas, Texas, area strongly suggests the use of these books as a great fundamental and companion material for computer science students. In Ghana, the Education Service and Curriculum Research and Development Department (CRDD) has approved the Concise ICT Fundamentals textbook as the recommended supplementary material for the teaching and learning of ICT in senior high schools, technical schools, and colleges of education and for general usage. The organization of the core material in this book both provides support training unconditionally to everyone who wants to be computer literate and also extends its learning curve to high quality ICT systems engineering to individuals or companies already operational in the high-tech industry. This book provides a solid foundation for information technology. This book is essentially prepared for senior high school and first year college students. You don't want to miss this good news.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWith GIS technology increasingly available to a wider audience on devices from apps on smartphones to satnavs in cars, many people routinely use spatial data in a way which used to be the preserve of GIS specialists. However spatial data is stored and analyzed on a computer still tends to be described in academic texts and articles which require specialist knowledge or some training in computer science. Developed to introduce computer science literature to geography students, GIS Fundamentals, Second Edition provides an accessible examination of the underlying principles for anyone with no formal training in computer science. See What’s New in the Second Edition: Coverage of the use of spatial data on the Internet Chapters on databases and on searching large databases for spatial queries Improved coverage on route-finding Improved coverage of heuristic approaches to solving real-world spatial problems International standards for spatial data The book begins with a brief but detailed introduction to how computers work and how they are programmed, giving anyone with no previous computer science background a foundation to understand the remainder of the book. As with all parts of the book there are also suggestions for further sources of reading. The book then describes the ways in which vector and raster data can be stored and how algorithms are designed to perform fundamental operations such as detecting where lines intersect. From these simple beginnings the book moves into the more complex structures used for handling surfaces and networks and contains a detailed account of what it takes to determine the shortest route between two places on a network. The final sections of the book review problems, such as the "Travelling Salesman" problem, which are so complex that it is not known whether an optimum solution exists. Using clear, concise language, but without sacrificing technical rigour, the book gives readers an understanding of what it takes to produce systems which allow them to find out where to make their next purchase and how to drive to the right place to collect it.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKReviews ''A real pleasure using the book''. 27th May 2003 Reviewer: Chris Clarke: ''I have purchased many books on Access in an attempt to learn as much as I can about what I consider to be a fantastic piece of software and I have to say that your book Successful ICT Projects in Access (3rd Edition) was one of the easiest and most comprehensive books on the topic that I have come across. It has been a real pleasure using the book and my ability to program has increased beyond my wildest expectations, Thank you. Excellent!'' ''I found it clear, concise, realistically priced and is helping correct my deficient knowledge immensely.'' 20th February 2003 Reviewer: Dr. Geoff Fowler, Technical Director, Oilfield Consultancy: ''I am Technical Director of a small Oilfield Chemistry consultancy and taught myself, rather badly, Access. However all the books I bought and many online resources assume a level of knowledge hence the many mistakes I make in building databases for myself. I was browsing PC World and came across your Successful ICT Projects in Access. I found it clear, concise, realistically priced and is helping correct my deficient knowledge immensely. I will try and get your VBA book as well. Excellent! I think they are wicked!'' ''A first rate text which cannot fail to improve grades'' 3rd May, 2002 Reviewer: Miss Fozia Akram a student from Wakefield College, England: ''I would like to thank you for publishing such great books, I have purchased the A2 ICT and Access books and I think they are wicked. Thank you Payne-Gallway and thank you Pat Heathcote, lets just hope my revision pays off. A first rate text which cannot fail to improve grades''. ''The ''paint by numbers'' approach is exactly what is needed as it quickly gets results.'' 22nd September, 2001 Reviewer: Kev Randle from Sheffield, England: ''This guide to producing an ''A'' level project is going to take some beating. Some of my students have made fantastic progress in just a few hours from a starting point of zero experience with access. The ''paint by numbers'' approach is exactly what is needed as it quickly gets results. Probably feeds the ''instant gratification '' that most of our students are supposed to demand. I don''t care. As a teacher it has certainly made my life a great deal less painful and I can recommend this text to anyone taking, or teaching the AQA ICT or Computing course. It''s not even hard. Life saver!''. ''I wouldn''t have been able to do the project without it.'' 4th November, 2001 Reviewer: A Student from High Wycombe, England: ''This book pretty much lays out what is needed in the project in simple terms so that it can be adapted to your own project. Not only does it give the IT side but also the written work which is in part more important than the actual system. I wouldn''t have been able to do the project without it. Excellent book as an introduction to Access''. ''It is by far and away the most practical publication I have read on the subject'' 1st October, 2001 Reviewer: Sean Scaife from Dublin, Ireland: ''As a newcomer to Access, although over 20 years in the IT industry in various capacities, I found this work to be invaluable in being able to grasp the fundamentals of Access development. It is by far and away the most practical publication I have read on the subject, In fact I would go so far as to say that it is an object lesson to most authors of introductory works in so far that is PRACTICAL in real world sense. I have already passed on my original copy to a former colleague and have this morning recommended it to another colleague who will be purchasing it. I have no problem spending ...on other manuals but this work has helped me to produce working solutions in a very short time. Congratulations, A fan, excellent''. 17th January, 2001 Reviewer: A Reader from Leicester, England: ''This book really helps with the AS IT course when you need to do your coursework. If you are planning on using Access for your coursework, I really recommend it as it comes in very useful indeed''.
