Windows 8: The Missing Manual
O'Reilly Media, Inc, USA (Verlag)
978-1-4493-1403-3 (ISBN)
New York Times columnist David Pogue provides technical insight, lots of wit, and hardnosed objectivity to help you hit the ground running with Microsoft's new OS. This jargon-free book explains Windows 8 features so clearly - revealing which work well and which don't - that it should have been in the box in the first place.
David Pogue, Yale '85, is the weekly personal-technology columnist for the New York Times and an Emmy award-winning tech correspondent for CBS News. His funny tech videos appear weekly on CNBC. And with 3 million books in print, he is also one of the world's bestselling how-to authors. In 1999, he launched his own series of amusing, practical, and user-friendly computer books called Missing Manuals, which now includes 100 titles.
