Cheat Sheets – You Just Can’t Live Without Them

Cheat Sheets – You Just Can’t Live Without Them

A cheat sheet or a quick reference sheet is simply a manual-looking document, design to provide you with an all-in-one “summary” of a certain tool, hardware or application. The most common cheat sheets within the computer world today would be keyboard shortcuts, interface descriptions, quick tutorials, snippets, etc. Just imagine a hundred page ebook compressed into a one page manual, and you’ll get a cheat sheet. There’s a huge list of items that you can cover within this topic and there’s no other better site covering this than Cheat-Sheets.org. Over 100 cheat sheets and growing, this is the place to go if you’re still just starting with a new piece of software, or just simply new to Windows.

Check this site out:-
Cheat-Sheets.org

We have listed down a couple of cheat sheets here ourselves at Getfreeebooks.com, and we’re pretty sure that Cheat-Sheets.org will have them, but if it’s not, here are some of them:-

1. Gimp & Photoshop Cheat Sheets
