There is absolutely no textbook anywhere that tells you how to deal with computers step-by-step in an exact fashion. You need a certain amount of creative troubleshooting abilities.
Devry at devry.edu can teach you to be a computer technician
with the technical skills to do a job but you won’t succeed unless you’re the
type of person who enjoys fixing computer problems using your imagination and
creativity.
Computer science is more a creative field than a
technocratic field.
I provide the formal channels of computer schooling at
university and career colleges and some of the many certifications you can
earn. You can either study at school for
some of these certifications or study on your own. It doesn’t matter. You have to pass the test to be certified.
Education and jobs are interrelated. All the big computer-IT companies have their
own training programs.
This book has both:
it contains the job contact information, organizations and
websites for most computer-technical fields.
how you learn about computers and the internet on your own
and in school.
The main simple ways to make money with a computer are:
design websites for people
blog
create videos then monetize them on youtube
Computer education takes on two components:
informal
formal
Software info is as follows:
a big list of software for sale
a big list of free software or
freeware including most administrative/ managerial software like openoffice,
gimp, mind-mapping software, etc.
information to learn how to code
and program which is the basis of all software.
There are two types of software:
software to run a computer,
systems software
software to do a function like
simulate an airplane’s controls or to create word files as with MS-Word,
applications software
Since software will be used in
every technical gadget or machine, they should teach it in school
jobs and jobs with freeware and
software companies.
There are many people creating
freeware for everything including word-processing, photoshop, free youtube to
mp3 conversion, etc.
I found a book about free
software at #005.3 or QA76 at the library.
If you see a commercial software
you want, do a search on a search engine for the type of software it is (what
it does) preceded by the word free like:
free dvd recording software
free photo editing software
Technically shareware means you
try it out for free before you pay for it.
They call it trial use or unlicensed use. Most of it is restricted to try to entice you
to buy the full program.
From my own experience, I wasted
a lot of time downloading something described or advertised as free but then
when you get on it or use it, you can't finish the job without buying it.
This can happen with a website
design software. You get it free, design
your website but can't publish it to the web until you pay them the $20 or
so.
Find something completely
free. I always read the description
carefully then mess around before I invest in learning how to use a particular
software program. I've seen some sell
for $300. Don't let them hook you in
then ask for $40 or $50 before you can move onto the next step.
There are least ten types of
virtually every software all developed independently. The price could go from free to a hundred
bucks. You have to look around unless
you got enough money so that you don't mind paying for software.
Free software means it's totally
free, no shareware where they want money later.
It's totally free.
Open Source software is totally
free to use. It comes with the source
code so you can modify it if you want.
Go to gnu.org for more info.
Freeware means it's totally free
but no source code comes with it.
Linux is a free operating system
but you have to take the time to learn to use it.
Some free software has a cookie
or spyware on it. Do a virus scan on it
after you download it but before you install it. Also, before you download it, look around to
see reviews about it. It could be a
front website for identity thieves.
There is a volume made up
of hundreds of websites covering
computer games and video games.
It includes a chapter on the
computer games industry including jobs as a computer games developer.
Information on the internet is
scattered all over the place. I took
everything I could find about cyberspace and put it all in this book which is
part learning about the internet, part using it for job networking and part
academic reference book providing the best academic-reference websites.
This book is about the internet
and where everything is on it including some reference knowledge but I try to
keep my books separate in topic so for academic knowledge the relevant books I
created are the Academic Subjects
Superbook in particular World Knowledge Resource Guide. That’s where I put all the big education and
academic databases/ websites.
I put internet business and
e-commerce in a separate book which contains all the information about
marketing and publicizing a website.
This book is basically about:
learn how to use the internet
for research and finding information and knowledge
a big list of most search
engines and search websites worldwide
a big list of the most popular
high-traffic websites
the best social media. People are using instagram because it’s easy
to upload video and pictures without the hassles of facebook
evaluating the truth and quality
of website content
basic academic reference
websites
how to create video for online
usage
lots of free pictures and free
photo-editing tools (pixlr.com and gimp.org)
internet privacy and security
internet viruses and malware
worldwide wifi
jobs with search engine
companies, website companies, webmaster
internet entertainment and fun
You can use this information to
find many companies in the internet-software realm.
The internet continues to evolve
but it’s still pretty basic. The basic
tools have been created for now. The
next quantum leap remains to be seen.
The search engine has not changed much since the early days. The internet is basically a tool to move
text, pictures and video around.
The basic tools are:
search engine
email
create your own website
do a blog
chat
video chat
telephone
join social community websites
send tweets
download pictures, video
watch TV
listen to audio, radio
I think the internet is great
and search engines are great but it doesn't change the fact that the
information is scattered all over the place.
The average person is just not that motivated as a researcher to find this
stuff.
Anyone that knows anything about
research knows that search engines miss a lot of relevant websites simply
because these websites, for one reason or another, have not used the key terms
being used for the search much even though they are very relevant in that
particular field which means very good websites are often not picked up by a
search engine because they're not savvy enough or interested in trying to do
sleazy things to optimize their position in the search engines while the people
looking to make money try every trick they know to get people to see their
websites.
Good internet research by itself
takes time and is tedious. Search engine
searches always miss something important.
It's not as simple as typing a keyword into a search engine and having
it all appear magically in front of you.
You have to sift through the
information.
There are major websites and
directory websites for most fields that make it much easier if you know where
to look.
Computer instruction books are
at #002-006 at the library, internet website books at #025.04 or HQ755, QA76.5
and TK5105. You could go to your local
library, both the stacks and the reference section and see some of the neat
computer books they have there. You can
also look at computer magazines.

learning to use a computer
programming
tech news
computer websites
computer software and hardware
computer products
computer games including adult computer games and jobs in
the business
internet guide, almost everything about the internet
create video for the internet

I provide some informal ways to learn about computers like:
programming
website development
blogging
creating computer video
The first part is a basic,
all-around computer education-resource guide.
I tell you where to go to learn more.
It's not heavy on tedious, specific technical details. If you want that, just go to your local
library (#004-005), online or to online computer bookstores.
You need to do a lot of learning, either hardware or
software (programming) by yourself, mostly as you go along, learning a little
more as you use your computer.
It helps if you’re curious enough so that it naturally
inspires you, like it’s a challenge to figure out how to create your first
computer program like I did with Fortran back in the day. If you got that in you, you can probably earn
a living in the computer fields.
If you’re a technician, you can learn computer hardware to
fix computers by following steps and you can even learn computer programming
because it’s all logical but it helps if it’s naturally in your blood because
it is an artform.
