The book is part one of a series of books on learning how to write registry code. While mentioned, the bulk of this code in this book deals with using the Microsoft. Win32 namespace which pretty much uses the COM APIs that was used with VB4, VB5, VB6 and C++ to read and write registry information into the registry. There is a ton of code in this book and it will show you how to enumerate through keys, read registry values and work with the registry Values and their data types: REG_SZ, REG_EXPAND_SZ, REG_MULTI_SZ, REG_BINARY, REG_DWORD and REG_QWORD.

Some books were meant to be written. Just not by me. Hey, if I can't make you laugh, how can I possibly convince you that you need to purchase this book. Truth is, you've probably already made your decision. But if you choose not to purchase this book, here's what you'll be missing: Examples of using early, mixed and late binding. How to use the Datalinks program to assist in creating connection string, Examples of mixing up ADODB. Connection, ADODB. Command and ADODB. Recordset in different ways, code examples of how an ADODB. Recordset can be used with the OLEDBDataAdapter to produce a Dataset or DataTable or DataView. Working with Providers, Drivers and ISAMS. Fixing the text ISAM Schema.ini file so you can use any delimiter you want. And all of the boringly interesting stuff that you only need to know when your ego gets you in trouble. (In-other-words, all the stuff I needed to know but hadn't remembered where to find it when I needed it while on assignment somewhere out in the middle of nowhere with no internet connection.

I'm going to begin this book by saying I have a very deep respect for the men and women who everyday go to work, sit at a desk, put a headset on, log into the queues and start their day helping people throughout the world with customer support. While I wouldn't want to wish the job on anyone, it takes a special kind of person with a heart of gold, the personality of a saint and the determination to not have a hot head get under his or her skin and try ruining an otherwise perfect day. You people are amazing With that said, this book is about the millions of people whose sole purpose in life is to keep people happy at their own expense. Yes, they are trained to handle irate and frustrated customers with the understanding that the person on the other end of the call is just mad or don't understand why something isn't working as promised but the rage, four letter words and violent threats still hurts. In case you are wondering who I am, well, I'm the old fart who stopped counting how many times I've been around the block. I've seen, worked and supported the people who take your information, ask some very specific questions about why you're calling, determine the severity of your call and assign the call to the appropriate queue. I'm the guy who worked tier level three support during the launch of Windows XP. I'm also the guy who handled 3000 cases at Microsoft while being part of the support group for the Visual Basic Enterprise edition. I earned the reputation of handling the toughest cases and the go to guy when my fellow support specialist got stuck resolving an issue. As for me personally, I'm a Vietnam Veteran who served my time in Vietnam between 1969 and 1970. And I've been problem solving since I was born in 1949. Yep, I'm 70 years old and I'm constantly learning something new every day. Even right now. Retirement is not my new religion. I began my IT career at Microsoft back in 1996 handling cases with many others holding degrees - I have none - who were supporting the Enterprise version of Visual Basic from 4.0 to 6.0. I never officially support . Net. By the time that product was being launched, Microsoft was beginning to thin out their customer support teams by replacing us with offshore teams elsewhere in the world. I have no regrets. I needed that push out the door to finally realize I could stand on my own two feet and a consultant and a professional software developer. Programming and creating tools that have impacted a wide range of customers throughout the world is something I'm very proud of and constantly coming up with solutions that help others solve problems keeps me young. Problem is, I probably am the one person who knows too much about the IT customer service and support. So, I'm struggling a little to reduce what I know. Cutting some of the boring and mundane daily grind and will be focusing on the how and why customer support is one of the greatest jobs anyone can have. I've decided that this book will be written from the perspective of someone looking for a new job. I think I accomplished it. To all of you who worked in IT customer support, thank you for your dedication and service. Merry Christmas all

Homesteading the Plains offers a bold new look at the history of homesteading, overturning what for decades has been the orthodox scholarly view. The authors begin by noting the striking disparity between the public’s perception of homesteading as a cherished part of our national narrative and most scholars’ harshly negative and dismissive treatment. Homesteading the Plains reexamines old data and draws from newly available digitized records to reassess the current interpretation’s four principal tenets: Homesteading was a minor factor in farm formation, with most western farmers purchasing their land; most homesteaders failed to prove their claims; the homesteading process was rife with corruption and fraud; and homesteading caused Indian land dispossession. Using data instead of anecdotes and focusing mainly on the nineteenth century, Homesteading the Plains demonstrates that the first three tenets are wrong and the fourth only partially true. In short, the public’s perception of homesteading is perhaps more accurate than the one scholars have constructed. Homesteading the Plains provides the basis for an understanding of homesteading that is startlingly different from the current scholarly orthodoxy.

The Arizona Desert is a cornucopia of diversity, rich in historic people, places and things, and charmed by the people here who remember those golden stories passed to them from their parents and grandparents who lived here during those days of the wild, wild west. But the stories don't stop there. Many a retired military soldier lives in the area and they too, have stories to tell about their experiences and they are more than willing to share them with you if you are willing to listen and don't mind some memory lane leg pullers along the way. Then, there are the various museums, zoos, libraries and so forth and so on to see and enjoy. Including Frank Lloyd Wright's home and architecture school, The Old Tucson Stage Set, Kutcher Caverns and the Grand Canyon

If you are thinking of coming to Arizona to retire, you are just unpacking and want to know about the environment known as the Arizona desert, I think I can help. That is, if you're really interested in learning more about the plants and animals of the desert that are as close as your backyard. If that is the case, then the book you are looking will do that. But this book is a lot more than a book on the plants and animals of the Arizona desert. It is about helping you not only help you know more about the good, bad and ugly plants, animals and insects - seems we've gotten our far share of publicity on things like the Africanized Honey Bees - but help you grow stronger physically - while you are still on this planet. After all, 10,000 steps a day does help to keep the grave digger away. Seriously, here's the concept in a nutshell, if you are an older person like me, who knows you weigh almost twice as much when you were young, mean and learn studs, and you want to live past 75th, you really need to know you are a ticking time bomb waiting to happen. You may have lost control of the belly roll to jelly and swiss rolls, but if you don't trim down, that extra tire you're carrying says your blood pressure is out of control. Increase your daily activities and stop eating like you're still 35, start believing that you can extend your life and enjoy the many charms the Arizona desert has to offer. With that off my chest, I'm about to tell you how I fell in love with the "warm and fuzzy feel of Arizona".
