I'm so excited to use what I've learned here!  I've talked to 100+ people about my business and no one has said yes.  I now understand I was doing everything wrong.  I've never been a sales person, and now I realize I don't have to be, in order to be successful!  Thank you so much Big Al for sharing your knowledge and amazing tips.  This little nugget is going to change my life!!!

I found this book very helpful for me. First of all, I gladly recognized myself as a dummy in photoshop and a far-from-expert PC user. I find in this book a lot of helpful tips and explanations in a very light, simple, direct style.
Remember that the " ... for dummies" series are written in a funny and easy to read way. If you're the kind of guy who loves deep technical academical explanations and don't like to be teached in a funny style, then maybe you need another kind of book for "begginers".
Thanks to this book I now can jump to more complex themes on photoshop! Mission acomplished.

Katharine Rapoport's "Violin for Dummies" is exactly what the title implies....a how-to guide for people who want to embark on an adventure that is out of their comfort zone. Although my childhood piano teacher told my parents to stop wasting their money on lessons for me, now that I'm retired, I decided to try playing the violin. My first purchase was "Violin for Dummies", to see if this was actually something I could accomplish. Surprize! Rapoport's book gave me so much information, on basic music theory, on how to hold the violin and bow, how to read music, even on how to select a violin, that my confidence soared! The easy-to-play selections and the humorous approach,along with the play-along disc, gave me the confidence I needed to continue. Within a few weeks of purchasing/studying the book, I found a violin and an instructor. A year later, I am loving my new-found abilities, and looking forward to each day filled with music. "Violin for Dummies" was a Life Changer for me.&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Violin-For-Dummies-2nd-Edition/dp/1118273591/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Violin For Dummies, 2nd Edition</a>

Being a complete dummy when it comes to computers or in my case a tablet  I knew I needed help.  This book really was my answer. I go to it whenever I cant figure out what something means,does,next step to take etc. I only read what pertains to me and what I'm trying to learn.  Does a good job.  I'm glad I got it,

I was a total noob when it comes to scanners and RF stuff, but after owning the BCD536HP for two weeks I feel almost like a pro! It's got quite the steep learning curve, when it comes to programming your own frequencies and favorites, etc., but it's really simple to get started by entering your zip code in and just letting it do it's thing. I live in a major metro area and it picks up several local law enforcement and fire departments as well as some local small airport traffic. So far, I think this thing is amazing.

One thing I wish law would allow is for us to be able to listen to Channel 3 "hot" LE channels, because that is where the majority of the action is, after the initial calls are made. Though often they'll just hang out on the main channel and I get to hear a lot of things I kind of wonder if I really want to hear, you know? There is a LOT of crazy stuff going on all around us at any given moment. Really an eye opener.

Overall, I recommend this unit highly. I use it on my desk at home, by the way, and have no problem picking up signals.

Good luck and happy scanning!

I have been monkeying with Linux for a number of years and finally decided to formalize my knowledge a bit more. This book is providing me with a much better background, supplementing what I already knew and filling in a lot of the background. I used to work like the superstitious guy who always crosses his fingers, says his prayers, and sequin he's his eyes shut, not knowing completely why it works, only doing exactly what worked the last time, in hopes the gods will continue t smile. This book is giving me the confidence to do it right and know why.

I purchased this program last September (7 months ago) and have been playing it in my car to and from work each day (30 minutes each way).  I am thrilled that I finished the complete 3 CD set this week!  It's the first program I've ever gotten through, I've learned it completely, and it was EASY!  I begin by listening to each track and I simply repeat that track over and over again until I'm comfortable that I've learned it. After listening a time or two and getting used to the words, I take a minute before I go into the office to read through the lesson that is reprinted in the book. This has been really helpful in helping me to distinguish small sounds in some words, and it also allows me to visualize the word in my mind the next time I hear it which helped me to learn them even faster and also improved my reading skills.  I have enough skill now to form sentences on my own, even those that weren't taught on the discs, just by putting new words from a spanish-english dictionary together with what I already know.  Today I will be buying level 2!

No, I'm not smart...I just sound smart thanks to this little gem! What a great book! I bought about 10 copies of this book for Christmas! I know this book is going to slay my friends and family! I don't know how the authors gathered all this information and put it all together so well, but they somehow did it! I can't wait to stun everyone at the next Christmas office party with my new found "smarts"!

I had never done any sort of programming before and I was also totally unfamiliar with BASIC.  This book helped to introduce the basics in an easy to understand way.  I recommend this book to anyone just getting started like me who knows nothing about the PIC and BASIC programming.  After reading the book I feel like I can tackle my own simple projects!

I was clueless to what buying a house consisted of prior to reading to reading this book. Now, I'm more confident that I can purchase a home, maintain it, and be on my way to having wealth!

For years I was afraid to do my own taxes for fear of screwing up & getting audited! (Nobody wants that!) But many people said it was easy because of step-by-step instructions, so I decided to give it a go. This is the first time in about 10 years that I'm getting money back & I'm not making any more or less money, nor do I have more deductions. Bottom line, I've been paying some jerkoff big $$ only to send the IRS a thousand dollars or more every year! So glad I tried this.

My WHOLE life, I have felt different and that I don't belong anywhere....sometimes even less than human.

I found out I was a INFJ and a HSP a few years ago, and I am currently still one. Now 29, I have learned a lot about myself and others. I have become a mature INFJ HSP and able to cope with myself and others appropriately. This book has helped me better understand myself and other personality types as well.

Thank you for making me know and understand that I am important, I am valuable and that I am worth being around. Most of my life has been filled with a lot of darkness and I was sorely misunderstood by all (even my husband and then boyfriend). Thank you for letting me see the light!

I kept asking myself why I couldn't see this stuff until I read this book!  Now I am armed.  Now I understand myself better, and I understand how to deal with people who have been able to manipulate me in the past.  Great book!

I knew nothing of VBA before using this book.  After reading the first 2 chapters, I've practiced on a variety of my personal and professional spreadsheets and I've been impressed with what I can do now.  I don't know how I lived without VBA in the past.  I'm still by no means skilled, but I've learned enough to have fun and be very productive with it.  I'm looking forward to learning more and putting these new skills into practice at work.  This has definitely been worth my $$$.

I have been studying for 2 years and have covered so many topics, so many different ways and have been so totally unsure of myself.  I wish that I had read this book after my first introduction into witchcraft.  For me, it put all of it into place.  Simply written, not anything like what I have been studying, it simply ordered things for me.  Thank you for this guidance.  I can now relax and grow without worrying about having done something wrong.
I love this book!

A very good book for a non-professional like me.  This is one of the better "Dummies" book that I have purchased.  After reading it cover to cover, I felt like I just finished a college course on the subject.  Highly Recommended!
