and makes use of colour sctnreshoes to provide a better explanation of the topic in hand. There are many tips and cautions highlighted in each chapter, these are easy to spot and provide some great takeaways.The chapters focus on common tasks , e.g. Using Email and the Internet or Importing, Viewing and Editing Your Digital Photographs and Videos , etc. This is perfect if you are new to Windows 8 as many of the how do I do s are covered. I was pleased to see that each chapter includes a Top Tips from This Chapter summary you can see at a glance what you'll be learning over the pages that follow. Similarly, there's good use of chapter cross-referencing. Whilst the tasks are fairly high-level, even experienced users may learn where menu options are or how to do something using touch in place of a mouse drag/click. I know I've found myself looking at a new Windows 8 application and thinking now what? the answers, Mike kindly provides in this book!One thing that I felt was missing from this book was an appendix that put the Windows 8 keyboard shortcuts in one place. There are many keyboard shortcuts explained in each chapter, however they are dispersed throughout the book. It's worth noting that this book is about Windows 8, not specifically Windows RT. Whilst there is a lot of overlap, there are a couple of chapters that are not applicable to Windows RT. You'll still get a lot out of this book if you are using a Windows RT device.If you are new to Windows 8, you should buy this book in order to gain a good understanding of the touch interface and how to get the best out of Windows 8. If you are coming to Windows 8 from a previous version of Windows, this book is worth buying because it helps build a bridge from the land of the desktop' and the mouse/keyboard over to the land where touch and/or mouse gestures are important navigation aids!
