Most computer users think that fiddling with the insides of their PC is taboo. They fear that by removing the screws that hold the case on, they’re crossing into forbidden territory. And even for those who know they can open the box and fix or upgrade their PC, analysis paralysis often stops them in their tracks:

Which upgrades offer the best bang for the buck? How do you pinpoint the faulty component that’s making your system freeze? What about compatibility issues?

Book Description

Many A+ certification guides prepare aspiring PC technicians to pass the exam, but don’t put test objectives in a “practical use” context. Other PC repair guides cover A+ exam objectives in a real-world setting, but don’t prepare students well enough to pass the test and get certified. The A+ Certification and PC Repair Handbook solves this problem by combining a complete test preparation for the new A+ examinations (220-301 and 220-302) with a hands on guide that reflects how the A+ exam questions apply to real-world PC repair problems. The book teaches users how to install and troubleshoot hardware, and provides solutions to common operating system-related problems for machines running Microsoft Windows 9x, Me, 2000, and XP. Each chapter includes numerous diagrams and photographs, and explains PC repair techniques using easy-to-understand language and accessible terms. For each chapter explaining these PC repair tactics, another chapter is included on how to effectively pass the corresponding portion of the A+ exam, with sample exam questions based on the actual tests. Test-taking techniques are also covered, including the test’s recent return to conventional linear testing, as opposed to the adaptive format of previous years. The book’s companion CD-ROM contains video tutorials that illustrate PC repair techniques, and full-length, timed, 80-question conventional practice tests covering both modules (Core Hardware and OS Technology) of the A+ certification exam.

Product Description

A step-by-step guide to building PHP web sites and applications using the Smarty templating engine

* Bring the benefits of Smarty to your PHP programming
* Give your designers the power to modify content and layout without PHP programming
* Produce code that is easier to debug, maintain, and modify
* Useful for both Smarty developers and users

In Detail

Smarty is a templating engine for PHP. Designers who are used to working with HTML files can work with Smarty templates, which are HTML files with simple tags while programmers work with the underlying PHP code. The Smarty engine brings the code and templates together. The result of all this is that designers can concentrate on designing, programmers can concentrate on programming, and they don’t need to get in each others way so much. Even if you are developing a site on your own, Smarty is a powerful way to make your code clearer to you and others, as well as easier to debug and modify later.

What you will learn from this book?
This book is a comprehensive guide to all aspects of using Smarty. It will help you to:

* Install and configure Smarty on your Web server
* Understand how Smarty affects your web site architecture, and build site foundations that make the most of what Smarty offers
* Designers will learn to work with templates that contain variables and logic, to modify layouts or content of Smarty web sites
* See how Smarty caching can improve the performance of your sites
* Develop custom Smarty functions and plug-ins to incorporate into your templates

Approach

Using a step-by-step approach based on realistic examples, the expert authors show you how to use Smarty in your own PHP development.

Who this book is written for?

This book is written for PHP developers who want to use Smarty templates in their development, and for designers who are working with PHP developers who are using Smarty.
