Foreword from the Publisher
wiley’s publishing vision for the Microsoft Official Academic Course series is to provide students
and instructors with the skills and knowledge they need to use Microsoft technology effectively in
all aspects of their personal and professional lives. Quality instruction is required to help both ed-
ucators and students get the most from Microsoft’s software tools and to become more productive.
Thus our mission is to make our instructional programs trusted educational companions for life.
To accomplish this mission, wiley and Microsoft have partnered to develop the highest quality
educational programs for Information workers, IT Professionals, and Developers. Materials cre-
ated by this partnership carry the brand name “Microsoft Official Academic Course,” assuring
instructors and students alike that the content of these textbooks is fully endorsed by Microsoft,
and that they provide the highest quality information and instruction on Microsoft products. The
Microsoft Official Academic Course textbooks are “Official” in still one more way—they are the
officially sanctioned courseware for Microsoft IT Academy members.
The Microsoft Official Academic Course series focuses on workforce development. These pro-
grams are aimed at those students seeking to enter the workforce, change jobs, or embark on new
careers as information workers, IT professionals, and developers. Microsoft Official Academic
Course programs address their needs by emphasizing authentic workplace scenarios with an abun-
dance of projects, exercises, cases, and assessments.
The Microsoft Official Academic Courses are mapped to Microsoft’s extensive research and job-
task analysis, the same research and analysis used to create the Microsoft Office Specialist (MOS)
exams. The textbooks focus on real skills for real jobs. As students work through the projects and
exercises in the textbooks they enhance their level of knowledge and their ability to apply the latest
Microsoft technology to everyday tasks. These students also gain resume-building credentials that
can assist them in finding a job, keeping their current job, or in furthering their education.
The concept of life-long learning is today an utmost necessity. Job roles, and even whole job
categories, are changing so quickly that none of us can stay competitive and productive without
continuously updating our skills and capabilities. The Microsoft Official Academic Course of-
ferings, and their focus on Microsoft certification exam preparation, provide a means for people
to acquire and effectively update their skills and knowledge. wiley supports students in this en-
deavor through the development and distribution of these courses as Microsoft’s official academic
publisher.
