Ready to put Intuit's QuickBase to work? Our new Missing Manual shows you how to capture, modify, share, and manage data and documents with this web-based data-sharing program quickly and easily. No longer do you have to coordinate your team through a blizzard of emails or play frustrating games of "guess which document is the right one." QuickBase saves your organization time and money, letting you manage and share the information that makes your business tick: sales figures, project timelines, drafts of documents, purchase or work requests--whatever information you need to keep business flowing smoothly. QuickBase: The Missing Manual shows you how to choose among QuickBase's dozens of ready-made applications (mini-databases, essentially) and how to customize one to fit your needs exactly. You'll also learn to assign people different roles within the application. The guide also shows you how to: Capture and modify data: Whatever kind of data you need to store--sales leads, catalog listings, project milestones, workflow checklists--you can use QuickBase's forms to record and organize that data so it makes sense to you. Filter, sort, and group data: Easily find the records that match your criteria, and then sort those records into groups that make their relationships clear. Display your data: QuickBase uses different views (Table, Grid Edit, Summary/Crosstab, Calendar, Chart, and Timeline) to display and summarize data. Switching between them is easy, like taking tasks listed in a table and displaying them as a timeline. Create reports: Print out a hard copy, embed charts in the annual report, or email this month's sales numbers. Because Intuit frequently introduces new features to QuickBase, you'll find updates to this book at our Missing Manual web site so you can benefit from the latest technology and user suggestions right away.

QuickBASIC Programming for Scientists and Engineers teaches computer programming from the ground up with Microsoft QuickBASIC, a modern, fast, easy-to-learn programming language. Examples used throughout the book are useful for students and professionals in chemistry, physics, and engineering. The book covers the basics and then proceeds to more sophisticated programs using a disk (enclosed with the book) containing pretested procedures for important operations such as Graphing (screen, printers, plotters) Data entry/edit/save/retrieve File management Linear regression Nonlinear regression Cubic spline interpolation Romberg integration Differential equations Fourier transform. With these routines, you get many of the advantages of a spreadsheet, but with a simpler, more powerful programming language. QuickBASIC Programming for Scientists and Engineers shows you what these routines do and how to use them effectively. Because the book provides the source code, you can even customize these routines to suit your specific needs. The modules disk runs on any IBM© or compatible microcomputer with a graphics board, 640K RAM, DOS 3.0 or higher, and a copy of Microsoft QuickBASIC (version 4.0 or higher). The book is perfect for any scientist or engineering professional who needs to learn QuickBASIC programming quickly and easily.
