i purchased this book when i was wanting to learn about computers extensively. i am writing this review almost a year after purchasing this book. it has indeed helped me A TON. i was wanting to get this book due to the fact that it was a 9-in-1 book that talked about many different subjects relating to computers. i also was happy that i did not have to buy several books just to learn about one thing. i use it now as a reference book in case i forget something or want to confirm something. overall, i am VERY happy that i have purchased this book, and would recommend it to anybody wanting to have a reference book for computers, or someone just starting to learn about computers.
I haven't finished the whole book yet but I really like it so far. The only drawback for me that I can see is that it is for Windows 8 and my system uses Windows 7. Other than that I really do like this book and have learned a lot so far.
I'm an intermediate user trying to get a broader view of the systems that I work with. I fully expected to be reading about things that I already knew when I bought this book. However, I didn't expect for the author to be so profoundly annoying. For every helpful bit of info that I come across, there are at least 5 times when I seriously consider throwing this book in the garbage. I'm trying hard to make it through this book, but the authors combination of patronizing tone and trying-too-hard vibe is making it difficult. Once I've skipped some chapters and absorbed a little more information, this book is going directly in the trash. If you're an absolute beginner, I think there are better resources out there for you. As far as this book is concerned, the information is there, but you'll need to wade through the mud to get it.
I debated whether I should buy this version or the one for seniors. I have found this manual difficult to follow because it assumes knowledge I don't have and, therefore, it is over my head. I thought would cover more, starting with basics, step by step. I was wrong, and will now have to buy the "introduction to computers" version.
Very entertaining and informative. I knew hardly anything about computers until I read this book. He covers everything you really need to know.
when you have this book, I think you get the whole package and its all you need . tons of helpful info
Very detail book, am learning a lot. Am glad I purchased it.
I AM NOT VERY GOOD AT COMPUTER SKILLS, SO I THOUGHT I WOULD GET SOMETHING TO HELP ME DO WHAT I NEEDED TO DO , THIS IS THE BEST BOOK I HAVE EVER HAD TO HELP ME WITH EVERYTHING I NEEDED TO DO ,,TRY IT OUT FOR YOUR SELF,,THE BEST,,,,,,,,,,
