Every tech company wants to be in the business of education. It's a powerful space-there's always a need for people learning.While companies like Microsoft and Apple have competed in this space with hardware and software, Google took it a step further by creating a cloud-based classroom for teachers. There's hardware (Chromebooks) and software (Google Apps) too, but Google Classroom is a unique environment where teachers can connect in a private space with other teachers, students, and parents.This short guide will walk you through setting up your first classroom.

Email as a communication tool has been used since the 1960s. Commercial use of email is still relatively young.Today, email is dominated by one company: Google. Estimates show that over 50% of all people with email use Gmail! If you picked up this book, you probably have one or are considering getting one.For its email service, Gmail is easy enough to use-compose email, send email, done! But there's more to Gmail than sending and receiving email. How do you get not-Spam emails to stop showing up as Spam, for example? What on Earth are labels? And how do you get email forwarded to another inbox? If you want to be a power user, then read on!

Take your presentations to the cloud! How many times do you work on a presentation that you will get absolutely no feedback on and want no help? Maybe you're the type that likes to whip something up and have no practice or feedback at all? Most of us are the former. Before we stand in front of a group of people, we want to make sure we're as polished as possible. The problem is PowerPoint wasn't built like that. It was built as a desktop program that one person would use at a time. Google realized the problem and seized the opportunity when they launched Google Slides over ten years ago. Google Slides is a cloud-based presentation editor that can replace PowerPoint or Keynote. If you'd like to get the most out of the software, then let's get started! Note: This book is the Google Slides portion of the larger work: The Ridiculously Simple Guide to Google Apps (G Suite). This book is not endorsed by Alphabet, Inc.

Do you really understand who is coming to your website?If you have a website, then you have probably already heard all about rate, exit rate, organic search traffic, and more. They're nice words, but how do you use them to understand your visitors and get more?Google Analytics is a powerful resource that can tell you the smallest details about your visitor traffic, but if you are asking yourself what it means or why it even matters, then you're like most businesses. Analytics is so data heavy that you can be easily overwhelmed and lost.If you are new to Analytics, or even have used it a few times, then this guide will help you understand what's in front of your eyes. It won't get into the weeds with professional tips better suited for professional marketers. It also won't go into detail about advanced Analytics elements--the keyword here is Basics! The goal is to get you started quickly.Ready to get started? Let's go!

Chances are you grew up a Word and Office user. Maybe you were a rebel and committed your herd to OpenOffice, or, dare I say, WordPerfect-but for the majority of people, our lives were loyal to Microsoft. In 2005, a small little startup named Upstartle developed something unheard of at the time: a web-based word processor called Writely. It pioneered the idea of writing on the "cloud" and changed the way people thought about word processing.Google noticed the little upstart, and in 2006, they acquired the company. The software was abandoned and turned into what everyone knows today as Google Docs. It disrupted the industry-namely, Microsoft's industry.Today, Google has a whole suite of productivity apps; from documents to spreadsheets, you can do just about anything from the cloud. Microsoft and Apple have each made big attempts to create cloud-based environments of their own for office productivity, but Google pioneered the idea and its collaborative, online environment make it hard to beat. It's become so feature-rich that many businesses are finding it to be the preferred way to conduct business.If you are thinking about making the switch to Google, or have already made the switch but want to make sure you are using it correctly, then this guide will walk you through it. It will show you all the basic features to make sure you can get up and running as quickly as possible. It covers Google Drive, Google Docs, Google Slides, Google Sheets, and Google Forms.Let's get started!

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 over Excel in this arena. It's quicker and easier to use for collaboration.Google Sheets is also free; Excel has monthly/yearly subscriptions.If you'd like to get the most out of the software, then let's get started!Note: This book is the Google Sheets portion of the larger work: The Ridiculously Simple Guide to Google Apps (G Suite).

Chromebooks are perfect for Seniors. Hopefully you are at a state in your life where the Internet helps you but doesn't define you. You don't need to have a powerhouse computer that can have 200 spreadsheets running at the same time or watching a movie while you have 100 other apps open! You just want a computer that lets you check up on things, and maybe stream a movie or to. In a word: something simple. If that sounds like you, then all you have to do is figure out how to use a Chromebook! Fortunately, if you've ever used the Internet, then that part will come pretty easy. This book will walk you through what you need to know so you can be up and running in no time. Ready? Let's get started!NOTE: This book is not endorsed by Alphabet, Inc.

If you've used any computer, then a Chromebook will be easy enough to use as soon as you open it up for the first time. If you really want to take advantage of all the features and be as productive as possible, then this guide will help. Let's get started!

Take your idea to reality!Think for a moment. Think about that one time--or maybe one of several times--where you said, "You know what would make my job easier? This..." Innovation doesn't have to come from innovating minds. It can come from ordinary people who are just trying to make their everyday lives a little easier. In my case innovation was twofold: Modernizing every Shakespeare play Putting it in a format that spoke to a modern audience: an app. The app became SwipeSpeare and the idea was simple: Let students read Shakespeare as they normally would; when they're struggling to understand a passage, they swipe their finger across it to see a modern English translation. It was simple--and it worked. With zero marketing, SwipeSpeare was downloaded over 350,000 times. The number sounds good when in context, but it sounds even better when you understand that A) I wasn't a developer, B) I wasn't a designer, and C) Everything was bootstrapped. In writing, there's an old phrase: show, don't tell. If you want your product to be successful, then you have to be able to show (not explain) how it works. That's what this book will do. I'll start with the basics: wireframing your idea and giving it a high-level framework; then we'll move into more visual designs, and finally interactive mock-ups. Design is only part of the work. I'll also show you how to put your final product into a pitch deck that sells.

There are certain filters and commands you can apply to your Google search that will make finding exactly what you want a breeze.

The book will cover: Types of searches you can perform. Google Search operators. Performing an advance Google search. Setting up Google Alerts. And much more!

Ein neues iPhone zu bekommen ist aufregend; es fühlt sich fast wie ein neues Spielzeug zu bekommen. Niemand mag ein Spielzeug, das einen dazu bringt, ein langes Handbuch zu lesen, nur um herauszufinden, wie das verdammte Ding funktioniert! Wenn Sie bereits ein iPhone hatten (oder vielleicht mehrere), dann stehen die Chancen gut, dass Sie bereits wissen, wie es funktioniert. Aber das iPhone wird Ihnen eine unangenehme Überraschung bescheren, weil der Home Button entfernt wurde.

Es wird natürlich auch alle neuen Funktionen von iOS 12 abdecken.Diese Anleitung ist so formatiert, dass sie Ihnen hilft, Ihr Telefon (und alle seine leistungsstarken Funktionen) so schnell wie möglich zu benutzen. Ich habe diesen Leitfaden so geschrieben, dass es etwas lockerer und lustiger ist, was man von den meisten iPhone Handbüchern erwartet. Das iPhone ist ein lustiges Gadget und jede Anleitung, die Sie lesen, sollte ebenso lustig sein. Jedes Kapitel beginnt mit Stichpunkten, was behandelt wird, so dass Sie, wenn Sie etwas bereits wissen, direkt vüberspringen können; wenn Sie nur wissen müssen, wie Sie neue Funktionen nutzen können, ist das Buch auch so formatiert, dass diese hervorspringen.Sind Sie bereit, Ihr neues iPhone zu genießen? Dann lassen Sie uns anfangen!

Create a winning pitch to raise the capital you need!You're a young company. You have an idea. You have a dream. Your pitch deck can make or break you! As someone who has successfully raised capital from a multi-billion dollar corporation, you can trust me when I tell you this: your pitch deck is not something you want to mess around with. A huge percent of the time you invest in putting your business together should be spent on your pitch. My experience with pitching came as part of a startup accelerator. In the program, seven teams went through an intensive business bootcamp where we fine-tuned our businesses and talked to investors. At the end of the program, you pitched your business and hoped someone would make you an offer to invest in your company. There were great companies in the program. In my opinion, all were worthy of an investment. But you know how many got it? Just my team. There's a number of things that went into this, and everything wasn't completely centered around the pitch. But the pitch played a big part of it. So how do you create a pitch-perfect pitch? Let's get started!

UI and UX for the non-designer!Three years ago, I was in a predicament. I was in a Startup Accelerator (which is a business program for startups, which usually ends with you pitching your idea to investors), and pivoted very early in the program. Problem was, I was neither a coder nor designer. I was just a guy with an idea for a business. The idea of sitting in front of an investor--many whom likely wouldn't be the most tech-savvy people--and trying to explain the idea was daunting. In writing, there's an old phrase: show, don't tell. But how do you show something when you have literally hours before meeting with someone who could potentially give you the funds you need to succeed? In a word: Sketch! Sketch gave me the ability to quickly mockup my idea so that when I met with investors and advisors, I wasn't telling--I was showing them. And they were impressed. It clicked with them more than words could. Many believed that what they were seeing was already done and working. If you are a non-coder, non-designer like me, then is book will give you the foundation you need to create your software or app.

The iPhone does everything...but what if you don't want to do everything?! Sure, it's great that you can log into a private network or set up an iMAP / POP email account--but what if you are retired and just want to know the basics--like how to do a group Facetime with all the grandkids!This book walks you through what you need to know step-by-step--including how navigation works now that the Home button is gone on some of the phones. It covers only what you need to know--so you don't have to comb through hundreds of pages of tech-speak just to find out how to do a common feature.This book is based on the bestselling book "The Ridiculously Simple Guide to iPhone X, XR, XS, and XS Max" but includes sections specifically for seniors (including accessibility features that make text easier to see).Are you ready to start enjoying your new iPhone? Then let's get started!Note: This book is not endorsed by Apple and should be considered unofficial.
