Welcome to the latest frontier of Web technology. In XML For Dummies, 4th Edition, we introduce you to the mysteries of eXtensible Markup Language (XML). XML is helping developers capture, manipulate, and exchange all kinds of documents and data, ranging from news feeds to financial transactions. In fact, many experts believe XML represents a kind of “lingua franca” that can represent information in just about any imaginable form, more accessibly than ever before — not only to human readers, but also to all kinds of computer applications and services.

The Win32 API, or Application Programming Interface, allows Visual Basic programmers far greater access to the inner workings of the Windows operating system without having to suffer through the steep learning curve associated with Visual C++ style Windows programming. The book is designed for users with an intermediate-level (or higher) knowledge of Visual Basic version 4 or later and a desire to stretch VB into the realm of Windows system programming. Users do not need to have any background in Visual C++, nor do they need to have any previous experience with the Win32 API. This book helps VB programmers eliminate the trial and error process that is usually associated with calling the Win32 API from Visual Basic.

Current estimates say that somewhere between 65 percent and 80 percent of all e-mail on the Internet is spam. With those kinds of numbers, you can easily see where the doomsday predictions are coming from, but the fatalists are ignoring an important fact, which is that where there are problems, ingenious people are always ready to solve those problems — usually for a fee. Spam filtering has progressed a lot from the early days when it was looking for certain “bad” words and filtering out anything with any form of any word in the list. Modern spam filters can examine word usage in context, recognize patterns in e-mail that look spamlike, and dispose of 97 percent to 99 percent of actual spam. Although the same kind of useful statistics aren’t readily available for spyware as we write this book, a lot of people are taking notice of spyware’s impact on Internet computing. Huge, faceless corporations are tracking everyone’s personal Web-surfing habits through tracking cookies, scumware is replacing banner ads on Web sites, and key loggers are recording online banking and other management of sensitive corporate and personal information.

Roxio Easy Media Creator For Dummies is meant to be a simple reference to the major components and features that its many components offer. I have, however, endeavored as much as possible to arrange this reference material according to the task you want to get done rather than according to the module that you use in performing it (as you sometimes use the same module to accomplish multiple tasks). This means that although the chapters in each part are laid in a logical order, each stands on its own, ready for you to dig into the information at any point.

I’m sure you’ve seen the advertising: “We guarantee top-ten placement in a gazillion search engines!” “We’ll register you in 5,000 search engines today!”
Well, unfortunately, it’s not that simple. (Okay, fortunately for me, because if it were simple, Wiley Publishing wouldn’t pay me to write this book.) The fact is that search engine optimization is a little complicated. Not brain surgery complicated, but not as easy as “give us 50 bucks, and we’ll handle it for you.”
The vast majority of Web sites don’t have a chance in the search engines. Why? Because of simple mistakes. Because the people creating the sites don’t have a clue what they should do to make the site easy for search engines to work with, because they don’t understand the role of links pointing to their site, and because they’ve never thought about keywords. Because, because, because. This book helps you deal with those becauses and gets you not just one step, but dozens of steps ahead of the average Web site Joe.

In a culture so accustomed to and influenced by video images, it’s actually kind of surprising that personal moviemaking hasn’t burgeoned sooner. Video is the art of our time, and now — at last — you have the power to use this art for your own expression. What will you draw on your digital-video canvas?

Scanners are powerful input devices that are now inexpensive enough to be used in both the home and the office. When I first began to work with scanners not so many years ago, they were so expensive that I provided clients with five-point checklist to see if their requirements could justify the cost of a scanner. Now you can buy a good scanner for $50.00 and a quality scanner for under $250. If you think your scanner is just for scanning flat things like photos, you are in for a pleasant shock. Inside the pages of this book are things to do with your scanner that you probably would have never thought possible. Did you know that your scanner could help you lose weight? Yes, it can. While holding the scanner in its box, climb fifty sets of stairs twice a day. OK, maybe it isn’t the best weight reducer in the world, but when I think about what you can do with your scanner, I sometimes get carried away.
