Microsoft Security Essentials E-Book

Microsoft Security Essentials User Manual (Digital Short Cut)Microsoft has a great free anti-malware program available, called Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE). But it doesn't come with much documentation, which is a problem. That's why I wrote a Digital Short Cut (e-book) titled Microsoft Security Essentials User Manual. You can purchase and download it for just $4.99 from the InformIT website.

 The Complete Idiot's Guide to Playing Percussion

The Complete Idiot's Guide to Playing PercussionI'm specially fond of my music books, as they bring me back to my roots. This is certainly the case with my most recent music book, The Complete Idiot's Guide to Playing Percussion. This is a companion book to my very first music book, The Complete Idiot's Guide to Playing Drums. While the drums book focused exclusively on snare drum and drum set, this new book is an overview of all the instruments in the percussion family, from timpani and marimba to congas and tablas. It's an ideal book for drummers looking to expand their horizons, or for composers and arrangers who want to learn more about writing for percussion instruments. It comes with an accompanying audio CD that contains examples of more than 50 different percussion instruments, so you'll know how they're supposed to sound.
