About the Authors

Marty and Carole Matthews have used computers for over 40 years, from some of the early mainframe computers to recent personal computers. They have done this as programmers, systems analysts, managers, and company executives. As a result, they have firsthand knowledge of not only how to program and use a computer, but also how to make the best use of all that can be done with one.

Over 25 years ago, Marty and Carole wrote their first computer book on how to buy mini-computers. Not long after, they began writing books as a major part of their occupation. In the intervening years, they have written over 70 books, including ones on desktop publishing, web publishing, Microsoft Office, and Microsoft operating systems, beginning with MS-DOS. Recent books published by McGraw-Hill include Windows 8 QuickSteps, Facebook for Seniors QuickSteps, Genealogy for Seniors QuickSteps, iPad QuickSteps, Microsoft Office Excel 2013 QuickSteps, and Microsoft Office 2013 QuickSteps.

Marty and Carole live on an island in Puget Sound.
