    Take full advantage of all the features Yahoo! has to offer. This unique guide explains how to set up your free Yahoo! e-mail account, customize your screen, and create your free Web site. You'll get advice on how to store private information securely on the Yahoo! server. Lots of other great features are covers, such as "voice-chat", stock tips, and much more....

    You can do just about anything on Yahoo!--the site that started out as a popular Web subject tree, and has morphed into a center for doing everything from finding a job to finding a date. How to Do Everything with Yahoo! documents the site's capabilities as they were in the third quarter of 2000. Essentially, author Alan Neibauer talks about Yahoo! as if it were a powerful application, and not a Web site. This is an appropriate approach (on Yahoo's part, as well as Neibauer's). Even if you use the site all of the time, this book likely will introduce you to cool things that you can do with--or that you never knew existed on--the popular portal.

The book begins at the registration process that gets you a free Web-based e-mail account. Calendar management, maps, auctions, travel, and the rest of the services that your registration gives you access to--including the surfer-friendly subject tree that made Yahoo! famous in the first place--are covered next. You'll find lots of references to other sites, too. One potential flaw lies in the explicit procedures that advise the reader to "choose this, click that"--they aren't well suited to Web services like Yahoo!, and too often they become obsolete without notice, anyway. --David Wall

Topics covered:

• Yahoo! as a tool for finding information and communicating online
• E-mail accounts
• Calendar management
• Maps
• Auctions
• Personal finance
• Instant messaging
• Special coverage of family-friendly accounts

    With most of the books currently on the market for Outlook 2000 falling into the instant-learn, limited-scope "Dummies" category, the need for an up-to-date and comprehensive reference book such as Outlook 2000 in a Nutshell is high. This book is for typical Nutshell readers: sophisticated computer users who need a comprehensive, functional reference to the product. Outlook is much more than just an email client. It is a powerful and versatile program that includes contact, calendar, notes, task, and journal tools all tightly integrated to give users quick access to vital information and fast, easy ways to share that information. You can arrange virtual conferences with NetMeeting, send Office documents through Outlook Mail, and save calendars as web pages and publish them to the Web. Outlook 2000 in a Nutshell is organized intuitively, beginning with a program overview examining Outlook's interface and structure along with setup and installation issues. The chapter on program insights delves deeper into the program, looking at data structures, forms, and categories. The second part of the book drills down into Outlook's individual components and their associated commands, and the last section covers some sophisticated connectivity and collaboration issues as well as file management and encryption. There are also some special sections devoted to working with VBA, using Outlook as an Exchange client, and exploring how Outlook works with Palm devices. This book covers:

• Program data structures, forms, and views
• Adaptive menus and toolbars
• Outlook's component interaction
• Connectivity and collaboration tools
• Importing and exporting
• Working with VBA
• Outlook as an Exchange client

The authors worked extensively with Microsoft engineers on the alpha/beta releases of Outlook 98, and bring to the book a wealth of knowledge and experience. They have provided a comprehensive task index, designed to speed up the process of locating important information as well as tips and tricks about the program. Outlook 2000 in a Nutshell is a must-read for any user who wants to get as much out of this software as possible without wasting time weeding through hundreds of pages of useless information....

    Microsoft insiders say that Outlook will become a sort of omnipresent information center in the future, synthesizing data from many sources into a convenient display. Outlook 2000 in a Nutshell acknowledges that Outlook already is the main productivity tool for many users. The book gives a wonderfully detailed look at Outlook 2000, and it does a great job of showing (many undocumented) ways to customize the program, largely without having to know how to program it.

Though the book has some plain-vanilla information on how to bring about specific effects, it will also show you how the various components of Outlook interact with one another and how you can adjust them. This is the most valuable aspect of the book. Explanations of why you might want to customize Outlook in certain ways, plus some new ways to use the software, are also really useful. The book doesn't ask what Outlook can do; instead it asks, what can it do for you? The book's design is also very helpful: numbered tips contain nuggets of information that don't fit into the general flow of the text. The titles of these tips appear in a special index, so it's easy to turn directly to Tip 77, "Quick Swap Time Zones," for example. Altogether, this book is a model technical publication for the power user. --David Wall

Topics covered: Microsoft Outlook 2000 for power users, with emphasis on little-used features and customization. Tips and tricks address organizing and finding information, managing and editing e-mail, importing and exporting files, and interacting with Microsoft Exchange Server. The book also covers synchronizing Outlook data with Palm devices, introduces customization with VBA, and provides a complete interface reference....

    Java Message Service (JMS) represents a powerful solution for communicating between Java enterprise applications, software components, and legacy systems. In this authoritative tutorial and comprehensive reference, Sun's Java Message Service architects offer start-to-finish coverage of peer-to-peer JMS development with Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition, Release 1.3. JMS is now fully integrated into the J2EE platform -- and this is the first book to show how to make the most of JMS in the context of sophisticated J2EE application development. The authors begin by introducing the JMS API to developers who are new to it. Then, with the help of extensive programming examples, they demonstrate key JMS techniques for enabling applications to create, send, receive, and read messages, and for integrating with existing back office and enterprise systems. Coverage includes: consuming messages asynchronously with message-driven beans; producing messages from application clients; accessing entity beans from message-driven bean; producing messages from session beans; and much more. For all Java developers building applications that must communicate and share information....

    Aimed at the more experienced Java developer who needs to work with enterprise messaging, Java Message Service API Tutorial and Reference delivers starter code and a complete reference to all JMS classes that you will need to know to work effectively with this powerful feature of the J2EE platform.

The no-nonsense, just-the-facts approach of this dual tutorial/reference is perhaps its salient feature. It explains the basics of asynchronous messaging and its advantages for robust enterprise-level applications before digging right in to JMS. The authors do a good job at explaining the difference between point-to-point and publish/subscribe models of message delivery. They also give a laundry list of areas to look at to ensure reliability and robustness in JMS systems, including looking at dos and don'ts for acknowledgement, message priority, and durability.

The real focus early in the book is on the simple, but effective, sample code used to illustrate the basic APIs with short, complete examples. Though somewhat demanding, this code will be for the more experienced reader all you need to get going with JMS. There are examples of both point-to-point and publish-subscribe APIs in action. Importantly, because working with JMS can be tricky, the authors don't skimp on the practical details of compiling, deploying, and running each application. Other examples look at JMS used with Enterprise JavaBeans, including the new EJB 2.0 message bean, plus how to use JMS correctly with session and entity beans. (This can also be tricky, and the authors go through the steps of packaging up and deploying bean JAR files, as well.)

More than half of this book is an alphabetical listing of the 46 classes available in JMS. Each class is explained, along with options and tips for using the class where appropriate. There is full coverage of basic message and exception classes and the classes you need to use for basic point-to-point and publish/subscribe processing. Obviously, this material is a must for those who prefer a printed reference instead of online help. With a quick-start tutorial and concise (yet complete) reference to all JMS classes, this title will serve a useful function for the working enterprise Java developer. --Richard Dragan

Topics covered: Introduction to messaging, the Java Message Service (JMS) API architecture, point-to-point and publish/subscribe messaging domains described, essential JMS programming APIs (connections, sessions, message producers and consumers), the structure of messages, simple point-to-point and publish/subscribe examples (including guide to deployment and execution), JMS used with multiple systems (including J2EE and non-J2EE messaging interoperability), JMS reliability mechanisms (acknowledgement, persistence, priority levels, durable subscriptions, local transactions), building J2EE clients used with message, session, and entity beans (including deployment and execution tips), a sample using multiple J2EE servers, reference to all JMS APIs: including topic and message classes, exception classes, queue classes, sessions and connections, and appendix with JMS client examples....
