		<description>If you want to learn Microsoft Excel then here are some resources that may help


If you don’t have Microsoft Office then you can first go to the Microsoft website to get a Trial version of Office 2010

You can use this to get some hands on practice and experience in using the MS Office 2010 program.

http://us20.trymicrosoftoffice.com/product.aspx?sku=3203819&amp;culture=en-US



You can get the FREE Kingsoft Office 2007 program which is similar to MS Office 2003 Excel, Word and Powerpoint...this would allow you to get some hands on experience and practice using Excel 2003

http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/07/14/kingsoft-office-2007-personal-english-edition-free-download-as-complete-familiar-microsoft-office-replacement-alternative/


The installation file is stored in a zip file so you will need a program like Winzip or ExtractNow ( which you can get from www.download.com or www.instantfundas.com ) to unzip the file and extract the installation program for the Kingsoft Office 2007 Free Personal Edition.

ExtractNow:

http://download.cnet.com/ExtractNow/3000-2250_4-10038365.html?tag=mncol


I still use the Kingsoft Office 2007 on my computer to create Word and Excel documents so I can recommend this program



You can also use Google.com to find many free tutorials, ebooks, forums and other information


Teach ICT has many free video tutorials and information for learning computer skills
http://www.teach-ict.com/videohome.htm
http://www.teach-ict.com/key_skills/spreadsheet_home.htm



http://inpics.net/excel03.html
http://www.baycongroup.com/excel2003/index.htm
h ttp://www.fgcu.edu/support/office2000/
www.uwec.edu/help/index.htm
www.officetutorials.com


There are many forums for Microsoft Office…you can ask them for any advice and information

MS Office forum
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;q=MS++Office+++forum&amp;aq=f&amp;aqi=g1&amp;aql=&amp;oq=



FunctionX has many tutorials for Microsoft Excel and Access and has many examples on how to use them in business:

http://www.functionx.com



YouTube has videos for learning almost any subject or topic

Excel 2003
http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Excel+2003&amp;aq=f

I hope this helps!&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>

		<description>Well, for Excel VBA and Macros, the programming language is VBA (Visual Basic for Applications).  You can learn that easily by reading Excel 2010 Power Programming with VBA by John Walkenbach.  There are also classes on it, but you&#039;ll likely learn about as much or more from the book.

Regarding Web Design there are several, because the Web runs on multiple computer languages.  HTML (Hyper Text Mark-up Language) is the base for web programming.  VB.Net would be a good one to use to expand from VBA.  VB.Net can be used to create web programming and computer programs.  Learning C programming is good, because it is kind of the base programming language that is used the most and similar to many others.  There is also Objective C which is used for the iPhone and iPad apps.

ASP.Net (Active Server Pages) is also a good one to learn for websites because it allows a person to be able to modify hundreds of web pages at once.  SQL (Structured Query Language) is a good one to learn for server queries, to query a server to get the info you want for a web page.  JAVA is also good to know for webpages.  And UNIX isn&#039;t bad to learn, because it is used with a lot of servers.

Books, classes and just doing it are the best ways.  As far as classes, I&#039;d go more for the in-class classes.  Because there you have someone to be able to answer your questions and you have in-class work to get you used to the stuff.  An online course isn&#039;t going to be all that much better than a book and it will be far more expensive than the book.

I&#039;ve seen many a good programmer that taught themselves by reading books and learning as they encountered problems as they programmed.  But a class will at least help you to understand the do&#039;s and don&#039;ts and what you should do and what you want to avoid doing and why.

There are also certification exams you can take to become a certified programmer for that computer language.  Once you&#039;re certified that can then help you get a programming job regardless of whether you took college courses for it or just learned from a book.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>

		<description>Spreadsheets are supposed to be about storing and exchanging tabular data and doing simple calculations and reports. Excel VBA and Macros are overrated, and smart people disable them anyways, since they can contain malicious code. And they&#039;re an outdated solution to the wrong problem.

Nowadays, people use database systems and develop information systems that generate webpages and spreadsheets as a result. But the data is in the database, not on some spreadsheet somewhere.

Web Design is something else entirely. Not only you do NOT need to learn any programming language, it&#039;s also true that computer programmers make bad web designers, and web designers make bad computer programmers.

They&#039;re entirely different disciplines. Web Design is a branch of Graphic Design, it&#039;s more about the look and feel of a website, usability, interoperativity and user interface design. Solid knowledge of HTML and CSS ( the languages in which a webpage&#039;s structure and appearance are expressed ) is a big bonus, as it means you have better control over the specifics of your design. But those are NOT programming languages.

Web Development is a branch of Computer Programming that allows programmers to develop web applications. Web developers are rarely involved with the graphical appearance of a web site ( since that&#039;s the job of a Web Designer ), but they are able to write computers programs that are run on the server side ( in order to process information and generate webpages from stored data ) and on the client side ( in order to add interactivity to the webpage ). Web Developers need to learn both a computer language that allows them to make server-side programs ( such as PHP or ASP.NET ) and a computer language for client-side programs ( Javascript is the standard for that ).

Of course, some overlap must occur. Client-side programs not only need to work, but they must look good. Most web designers also know at least some Javascript ( enough to install third-party client-side applications but not to develop them ), while most web developers know HTML and CSS.

The best way of going about learning these items is by practicing them and learning from your mistakes. You need to be able to read manuals and documentation, but all your reading will be useless if you don&#039;t do anything with it. Make your own interactive websites, your own intelligent spreadsheets, etc.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>

		<description>Before you buy a book search for free tutorials on the web.  There are plenty out there and they are geared at different levels.  Here are a few:

http://people.usd.edu/~bwjames/tut/excel/

http://www.baycongroup.com/el0.htm

http://www.tutorialized.com/tutorials/MS-Excel/Basics/1

Then just start using it.  There is no better teacher than experience.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>
