Make Your iPad Safe For Kids! There's never been a better time to learn. Several years ago, the word Edutainment was introduced-it's the idea of learning through games and other activities. What better way to learn than the iPad, right? Kind of. The iPad is an amazing learning device but handing it over to a child with no restrictions gives them access to the world... and all the evils in it. This book is twofold. One, it teaches parents how to...

Microsoft Word used to rule them all. It didn't matter what computer or operating system you had-if you needed to type something, you used Word. Times have changed! Today there are many word processing solutions out there. Some, like Google Docs, are pretty barebones; and others, like Word, feel at times feature creep-there are just so many options, it's easy to get lost. If you use a Mac, iPad, or iPhone, then you have a third option that's growing...

For 40-some-odd years, the world of spreadsheets has been, ruled by one king: Microsoft Excel. Sure, there were far away challengers that tried to overtake the beast, I'm looking at you, Lotus 1-2-3, but none have come close to dethroning the powerful tool... until Google Sheets. So what is Google Sheets? It's a cloud-based spreadsheet. Think Excel, but online. "But Excel is online," you say. Yes! But, Google was there first, and really has the advantage...

Become a Google power searcher! There's more to a Google search than meets the eye. On the surface, there's not a lot to it. You type in what you are looking for, click search, and go through the results. If that sounds like you, then you are only scratching the surface of what Google can do for you. There are certain filters and commands you can apply to your Google search that will make finding exactly what you want a breeze. This book...

NOTE: This book is based off of "MacOS Catalina: Getting Started with MacOS 10.15 for Macbooks and iMacs" and contains additional content on the MacBook Pros specs. In 2008, Apple released something revolutionary: a notebook so thin it could fit in an envelope! The newest MacBook Pro did something equally revolutionary-it's nearly as thin and slim, but it packs the power of many desktop computers. For many people, however, one thing really stands...

It used to be a few times a year Apple would take the stage and announce something that everyone's head exploded over! The iPhone! The iPad! The Apple Watch! The iPod! That still happens today, but Apple also is well aware of the reality: most people don't upgrade to new hardware every year. How does a company make money, when that happens? In a word: services. In the past few years (especially in 2019) Apple announced several services-things people...

Get Started with the Samsung Tab. The Samsung Galaxy Tab is arguably one of the best tablets on the market. It's more powerful than some computers! And with Samsung DeX, you can even turn it into a desktop computer! It's easy to pick it up and just start using it; but learning all the best features can take a little bit of time. That's how this book can help. I don't spend time talking about the features you probably won't use. I spend time teaching...

Take project management to the next level Working as a team can be challenging but working remotely as a team can add a layer of complexity to the work; it can be difficult to monitor who is working on (or responsible for) different aspects of a project and where they are in terms of deliverables. Trello, which is a part of the enterprise software development company Atlassian, is a Kanban-style project management tool that can run natively on your...

It's called Big Sur, and it's feature packed, and more powerful than ever. This book is intended for people who want to get started quickly. For that reason, it's not as comprehensive as other guides. If you want to know about some feature buried deep under the hood that you'll never use, then there are other books for you. It will also cover how to successfully make the transition from Windows to Mac. Some of the covered features include What's new...

Learn How to Use the Z Flip3, The Samsung Z Galaxy Flip3 is a fashion statement, a technology innovation, the future, and, oh yeah, it also does all those apps old-fashioned smartphones do! The Z Galaxy Flip does what we once imagined was impossible: bends the phone screen. Cool factor aside, it's a really powerful phone. But if you are new to Galaxy, you might be worried you might be missing out on some of the best features. That's where this book...
