| The IT Girl’s Guides are the antidote to blah technical references that can poison women’s enthusiasm for technology topics. Humorous expository text mixed with detailed exercises, real-world examples, relevant stories, and FAQs capitalizes on the initial attraction to draw in even casual readers. As the first-ever woman-focused technical reference, IT Girl’s Guides incorporate the latest thinking about how women learn. The emphasis on authentic author voice invites empathy and encourages readers to see themselves in the text. Such self-identification is reinforced and enhanced by the presentation of other women’s stories, challenges, and successes through engaging chapter elements and representations of real women. This abundance of personality provides multiple entry points for readers and addresses the audience’s various approaches to learning. Like the women it aims to serve, the IT Girl’s Guides series multitasks through the subject matter, covers lots of ground, and avoids the pitfall of boredom. Ani B uses humorous expository text mixed with detailed exercises, real-world examples, relevant stories, and FAQs which enable readers to effectively learn the ins and outs of using Microsoft Excel. She also uses stories, challenges, and engaging chapter elements like Mistakes Everyone Makes sidebars and Do-It-Herself step lists to teach Excel to even the most spreadsheet-fearing woman!
